Founded in 2023 · Northeastern University MBIE
KYDW, founded in December 2023, is an undergraduate research team initiated by students from the School of Biomedical Engineering, Northeastern University. Currently, the team has 61 members, distributed across Northeastern University, Fudan University, Tongji University, Liaoning University, Soochow University, Beijing Jiaotong University, and other institutions. We aim to unlock the research potential and interest of undergraduates, providing strong academic support for their graduate school applications and future research careers.
Research ability is one of the most competitive advantages in undergraduate admissions, often serving as a key factor for entering top universities. KYDW is dedicated to equipping undergraduates with strong research support and cultivating their academic curiosity and creativity.
The first cohort of members (Class of 2021) has successfully advanced to institutions such as the University of Cambridge (PhD), Peking University (PhD), The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (MPhil), Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (PhD), and Peking University Health Science Center (PhD).
