Prof. Venkatesh N. Murthy will be teaching the Harvard Summer Program in Bangalore, India: Bangalore Science Initiative.
This unique summer experience allows students to combine cultural immersion in India with sophisticated scientific research. Students conduct supervised research in quantitative life sciences—including chemical biology and biophysics—in a host laboratory. Participating laboratories are chosen from a large set based on the individual student's interests and the specific direction of the course.
