Overview
Welcome to MFURI, and thank you
for considering involvement in our program. This page is
here to provide information to prospective students and
volunteers alike about how to become involved in our program.
| A
message from the director:
MFURI is
designed to provide students who have an
interest in longevity science with the ability
to make significant contributions to the
development of lifesaving technologies. We |
|
| appeal
to a wide range of students and volunteers, and
it is our highest priority to find the most
effective ways to utilize each and every
individual involved in this program. If
you wish to defeat biological aging, whether
through research, advocacy, or other means, then
you are in the right place. Welcome!

For Students
Students who are interested in
becoming involved in MFURI should complete the student
application form. MFURI is subdivided into five distinct academic
programs, each focused around a particular series of academic
disciplines. Project development and initiation will be
conducted under the direction of the Department Head of the
given program, as well as a mentor which will be provided by
MFURI. Please contact the Department Head of the program
which seems most suitable for your project. If you are
unsure of what project you would like to complete, or are unsure
of what program you should contact, please contact the Director
of Undergraduate Affairs for assistance.
