This looks very promising, thanks for setting it up!

it’s expected that students applying have at least a foundational understanding of undergraduate biology (e.g. immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, cell signaling, basic lab techniques)

For those without an undergraduate background in biology,  are there any recommended readings that cover this foundational knowledge? e.g. the GCBR reading list by Greg Lewis has a section on basic science, is it sufficient?
