Summer Research Program

The Sackler School offers 10 week summer internships for undergraduate students interested in pursuing research careers in the biomedical sciences, beginning the first week of June. Stipends are available to cover travel and living expenses, and housing is available in the university dormitory.

During the course of the program, students conduct research under the supervision of a faculty mentor. They present the results of their projects at a poster presentation at the end of the summer. Every two weeks the students meet in small groups with a faculty facilitator to discuss each other's research. This provides each student with useful feedback on his or her project as well as the opportunity to learn about what is going on in other laboratories. The program also features several field trips and counseling on applying to graduate and medical schools.
