Job Description:

The Lin Lab is seeking undergraduate researchers starting between now and June 2026. This opportunity focuses on mechanobiology-driven digital biology for tissue engineering, offering students comprehensive training in advanced live imaging, biosensor engineering, and AI modeling to explore cell metabolism and therapeutic targets. Candidates can pursue one of two distinct projects: conducting high-content pharmacological screening to build LLM-based “digital twins” for virtual drug discovery, or designing novel fluorescent biosensors to dissect biomechanical and biochemical regulation of organelle remodeling.
