Summer Research Program

Through this innovative program, we inspire premedical students to accelerate healthcare discoveries through state of the art technologies and research. Students participate in hands-on research projects involving nanotechnology, microfluidics, histoimmunoassays, western blot and more. They learn how researchers apply fundamental knowledge on molecular basis to develop potential cures for certain diseases. Under the guidance of faculty, students do research projects, analyze data and learn how to write a manuscript. Their research may be submitted to national meetings for presentation.

Other topics covered include:

• “Bench to Bedside” Research
• Introduction to Biostatistics
• Introduction to Epidemiology
• Lab Safety
• Ethics in Research
• Principals of Clinical Trials

Students who are accepted to the program will need to complete online courses related to lab safety and human subject research prior to the start of the program.

Program Dates and Times: Weekdays, July 15th to July 26ht, 8:30 am to 4 pm
