High School Students
Every summer, the UH Sequencing Core provides two virtual opportunities for high-school students interested in gaining research experience. In both programs, participants will delve deep into the world of precision oncology and immunology, conduct a research project along with the mentorship of current Ph.D. students, and present their findings at the conclusion of the program.
Interested students are strongly recommended to apply through the U.S. Army’s Educational Outreach Program as participants will be provided with a stipend for their work. Students are also able to submit a request via email to participate in the virtual summer internship hosted by the UH Sequencing Core concurrently with the U.S. AEOP apprenticeship. Both programs are highly competitive and seek to provide students with a graduate-level research experience. Past participants have went on to win Regeneron ISEF, attend prestigious universities like Cornell, and present at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting.
