I found out about DAAD RISE
program from the study abroad/fellowship office. I thought I would give it a
shot and apply. Since I couldn't fit a semester to study abroad, I
thought that this would be a great opportunity to go abroad.
The application wasn't bad; everything was online so it was convenient,
and there weren't a lot of requirements: one letter of recommendation, a
general essay, a resume and transcript. I will be working in the
University of Rostock in the Department of Vectorology and Experimental
Gene Therapy to establish a syngene tumor stem cell mouse model by in
vivo targeting of adult neural stem cell. I am very excited the project
as well as living and working abroad, and cannot wait to experience the
German culture.
