Research Cures Cancer Corps – Applications OPEN
The Harper Cancer Research Institute welcomes current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors from St. Joseph County (IN) and surrounding counties to apply for the Research Cures Cancer Corps (RC3) summer student research program - a hands-on cancer research laboratory experience on Notre Dame’s campus.
Participants will work 32-40 hours per week from June 5 - July 28, 2023. All students in good standing are encouraged to apply regardless of GPA or class rank. We strongly encourage all students who identify as first-generation, under-resourced, or as a racial or ethnic minority to apply.

- Engineers seek “switchable” materials to power next-generation microelectronicshris Hinkle is on the hunt for new materials. He needs them to power faster, smaller and more efficient chips for next-generation microelectronics, so only materials with the right chemistry and structure will do. “Current materials are not able to keep up with the growing needs for very tightly packed components,” said Hinkle, Leonard C. Bettex Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. “The materials used previously are simply falling short of performance requirements.” Hinkle, who is principal investigator on a new NSF-funded, multi-institutional semiconductor project, is looking for “switchable” semiconductor materials that can either conduct or impede the flow of electricity when activated by an external trigger.
- Cancer therapies show promise in combating tuberculosisA study from the University of Notre Dame, Massachusetts General Hospital and the National Institutes of Health has identified a combination of medications that may improve blood flow within granulomas, benefiting drug delivery. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study leverages decades of cancer research to study tuberculosis-affected lung tissue and improve treatment.
- Notre Dame as a leading research universityThe University of Notre Dame has experienced transformational growth in research over the past decade. The evidence is everywhere on campus, both in the talent of the faculty and the resources devoted to making Notre Dame a leading research institution. In this episode of Notre Dame Stories,…
- Notre Dame faculty conduct translational research to address tuberculosis in lung cellsFor over 8,000 years, the “white death,” tuberculosis (TB), has plagued humankind. Its effects are described in Biblical verses and appear in mummies from Ancient Egypt. Those infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB, can now be cured thanks to modern health advancements —…
