Students from SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) and universities across the United States participated in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) this summer. SUNY Poly\u2019s SURP provided the 21 students who participated in the program with a unique opportunity to spend 10 weeks conducting hands-on research at SUNY Poly\u2019s Albany and Utica campuses. This innovative, practical experience allowed students to work closely with the college\u2019s world-class faculty.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cEach experience is unique to the student and the faculty,\u201d said Dr. Carolyn Rodak, Chair of the SURP Committee. \u201cSome of our students will spend 10 weeks in the lab and others will spend that time focusing on applied mathematics or network security. Students participating in the SURP program really have a range of diverse projects that they work on over the summer.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Anthony Cahill is a senior biology major at SUNY Poly, who spent his summer working with Dr. Lauren Endres on culturing human and mouse cells to assess their capacity to respond to, and recover from, oxidative stress-inducing compounds. After graduation, Cahill plans to gain professional experience in a research lab before pursuing a master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
