Summer Undergraduate Internship Program

The Summer Undergraduate Internship Program (SUIP) is designed to provide an intense research experience to students interested in graduate study in the biomedical sciences. Interns complete ten weeks of full-time laboratory research, attend state-of-the-art research seminars, and deliver scientific presentations to their peers and mentors. In addition, interns receive training in responsible conduct of research, laboratory safety, and presentation skills. Interns are also invited to career counseling sessions in which faculty and administrators discuss graduate school and career opportunities for biomedical scientists.  AREAS OF RESEARCH Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics Cell & Molecular Biology Epidemiology & Biostatistics Genomics & Computational Biology Immunology Neuroscience Pharmacology HOW TO APPLY The SUIP application is available online and must be submitted by February 1, 2017.
