Join an interdisciplinary team of undergraduate students to develop a synthetic biology project over the course of a year. We spend the winter semester on design, planning wet lab/dry lab projects, as well as related initiatives under our education, media, outreach, entrepreneurship, and finance subteams. The summer is then dedicated to full time wet lab (or dry lab) work. We are particularly interested in recruiting applicants with experience in either wet lab or dry lab work to lead those projects.</p> Wed, 29 Jan 2025 14:18:18 +0000 admin 1760 at /chemeng /chemeng/channels/event/pre-startup-skills-workshop-6-customer-discovery-362804 <p>This workshop will provide an overview of the customer discovery process and then delve deeper into how to conduct customer interviews and how to iterate on your business model or lean canvas.</p> Wed, 22 Jan 2025 14:41:22 +0000 admin 1759 at /chemeng /chemeng/channels/event/pre-startup-skills-workshop-2-startup-law-101-362799 <p>Led by a team of caseworkers from <a href="http://www.compassclinic.org/">Compass Startup Legal Clinic</a>, this workshop provides startup founders with a clear path through the legal landscape, offering insight on important considerations such as</p> Wed, 22 Jan 2025 14:36:25 +0000 admin 1755 at /chemeng /chemeng/channels/event/pre-startup-skills-workshop-3-introduction-industry-analysis-362800 <p>This workshop will introduce the fundamental tool of Industry Analysis which companies use for strategy development.
