BIOS Program

Eligibility

The Biology Intensive Orientation Summer (BIOS) is an elite research program designed primarily for 1st and 2nd year science majors through the School of Life Sciences. This program contains an advanced science curriculum geared specifically towards cutting edge research. At this time, any Fudan students, even freshmen with undeclared majors, are encouraged to apply. If you are not a freshman, you must have already enrolled in biology or have participated in the Honors Program of another discipline to be eligible.

Purpose

The BIOS program is designed to provide incoming students with a preview of the laboratory requirements of a B.S. in Biology as well as the pace and tone of cutting edge biology research. The BIOS program primarily focuses on lab sessions but also allots time for workshops that build science process skills such as data interpretation and experimental design. Participants will meet faculty, staff, and other senior students through informal sessions and gain study skills integral to success in a future science career. On average, students who have participated in this type of authentic research experience have higher final grades in other courses compared to their peers because they are better trained to think like scientists.

No prior lab experience is required to participate. We specifically designed a 3-day Bootcamp to help every participant readily integrate into the program.

Course credit

BIOS will be operated as a 5-week course in the summer semester. The course will be worth 4 credits.

Honors program

Outstanding students in BIOS will be admitted into TSI. The Students who enter TSI will also be admitted into the School of Life Sciences Honors Program. Such students will receive a special recognition upon graduating and be eligible for a number of important benefits including international travel funds (RMB 10000-20000 for travel and 3-6 month lodging expenses paid) to do research overseas and start-up funding to start their own company. They will have their research and profiles listed prominently on this website, gain access to exclusive study room, etc.

生物学综合实验基础（2020-）
生物学实验暑期训练营（2015-2019）

预修课程：现代生物科学导论

修读对象：有志于从事生命科学学术研究的本科生，主要面向大一本科生。修读者需提交申请，经任课教师面试后方可修读。

简介：本课程以提高学生的生物学实验能力和数据分析处理能力为目标，利用暑假，以训练营的方式，赋予学生自主所有权的实验，允许多次重复和试错；由青年研究员带领进行实验并传授科学数据处理的技能，锻炼学生乐于动手设计与实施，愿意把想法和理论变成现实，不断尝试、反思和纠正的创新能力。“早进实验室是BIOS的教学目标之一；我们希望看到BIOS课程帮助学生养成科研志趣，驱动学生持续做科研。”

选课流程：按当年招募页面说明，填写申请；申请通过者将由学院教务员帮助完成选课（2020年启用课号BIOL130166h，2015-2019年间的课号为BIOL130142）。

备注：BIOL130166h为荣誉课程，可替换专业进阶II的课程【教务处的培养方案链接 2019-2021, 2022, 2023, 2024】。
