The four-week, non-credit Biomedical Research Program immerses you in some of the most cutting-edge areas of biomedical research, including cardiovascular disease, oncology, immunology, and neuroscience.
Morning lectures provide a solid foundation in molecular biology and genetics and offer in-depth views into the key research programs and therapeutic approaches of biomedicine today. Most afternoons are spent in Penn’s biology labs where students gain a first-hand exposure to the experimental techniques and tools employed by biomedical researchers. Students will also work with Penn researchers on a specific topic in biomedical research to explore both the scientific and medical aspects of diseases.
