Penn Summer Biomedical Research Academy

July 5 - July 31, 2010

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. 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.

Prerequisites: One year of high school Biology is required for application. One year of high school Chemistry is advised.
