The Summer Internship Program is a joint effort between the Meyer Cancer Center and the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine. It provides high school and undergraduate students with hands-on mentored research experiences related to cancer and precision medicine over 6-weeks with the goal to encourage the pursuit of STEM careers.
Students immerse themselves in the fundamental principles of scientific investigation, get hands-on experience in laboratory techniques, or perform dry-lab research under the mentorship of basic science and clinical research faculty. The goal is to educate and inspire students at an early-stage to pursue future careers in cancer research.
The program provides a mentored experience rich in activities to participating students and create a network to support their future academic endeavors. At the end of the program, each student has the opportunity to present the results of their research.
