Kyle Kleinbeck, a pharmaceutical sciences graduate student, will spend eight weeks in Singapore this summer studying stem-cell therapies skin regeneration and wound healing with Dr. Casey Chan in the departments of Bioengineering and Orthopedic Surgery at the National University of Singapore.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI) travel grant, through the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering, introduces U.S. graduate students to East Asia and Pacific science and engineering in the context of a research setting, and helps students initiate scientific relationships that will better enable future collaboration with foreign counterparts. Selected students participate in research experiences at host laboratories in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, or Taiwan.
Kleinbeck is a third year graduate student from Waukesha, Wis. who studies in the laboratory of Professor W. John Kao.
