Developing Future Biologists
DFB is a graduate student-led organization with the mission to ensure that the next generation of biologists learn the core concepts of developmental biology and are made aware of the opportunities that exist to pursue a career in the sciences regardless of their race, gender, and socioeconomic status.
Developing Future Biologists (DFB) is an educational outreach organization led by graduate students and postdocs at the University of Michigan. Our mission is to ensure that the next generation of biologists, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status, can learn the core concepts of developmental biology and are made aware of the vast opportunities that exist to pursue a career in the sciences.
DFB organizes a week-long summer short course aimed at teaching undergraduate students fundamental concepts in developmental biology in a small class setting with close instructor-student mentorship. Throughout the week students attend interactive lectures, hands-on lab sections, and professional development workshops.
