SURF: Announcements of Opportunity
Below are Announcements of Opportunity posted by Caltech faculty and JPL technical staff for the SURF program. Each AO indicates whether or not it is open to non-Caltech students. If an AO is NOT open to non-Caltech students, please DO NOT contact the mentor. Announcements of Opportunity are posted as they are received. Please check back regularly for new AO submissions!
Remember: This is just one way that you can go about identifying a suitable project and/or mentor. Click here for more tips on finding a mentor. Announcements for external summer programs are listed here.
*Students applying for JPL projects should complete a SURF@JPL application instead of a "regular" SURF application.
*Students pursuing opportunities at JPL must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.

| Project: | Liquid biopsy cell-free DNA detection of residual disease after cancer treatment | ||||||||
| Disciplines: | Biology, Computer Science | ||||||||
| Mentor: |
Aadel Chaudhuri,
Assistant Professor, (BBE),

| Mentor URL: | https://chaudhurilab.wustl.edu (opens in new window) | ||||||||
| Background: |
NOTE: This project is being offered by a Caltech alum and is open only to Caltech students. The project will take place at Washington University in St. Louis in St. Louis, Missouri. Liquid biopsies are revolutionizing cancer detection, diagnostics and management. Among the most exciting arenas is cell-free DNA, free-floating DNA in blood plasma which serves as a powerful oncogenomic analyte for cancer detection and analysis. |
||||||||
| Description: | Student will either perform wet lab analysis, processing and sequencing of cell-free DNA or dry lab genomic analysis of cell-free DNA data. | ||||||||
