Winship Cancer Institute summer program offers hands-on experience in biomedical research
Current high-school juniors with an interest in biomedical research can apply now for the Winship Summer Scholars Research Program, to be held at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute.
Students who are accepted into the program will first learn about the science of cancer in a classroom setting. Then, each student will be paired with a research scientist or clinical oncologist who is actively engaged in research at the Emory University School of Medicine. These mentors will guide the students as they work in biomedical research labs on the Emory campus.
Program dates are June 3 – July 12, 2013. The application requires a transcript and letters of recommendation. Application deadline is Feb. 11, 2013.
Note: This program is open only to rising seniors attending high schools in the greater Atlanta area.
