The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences invite undergraduate students to the Mechanistic Biology Summer Program. This program is specifically designed for undergraduates who wish to gain immersive research experience exploring fundamental questions in biology and are interested in pursuing a career in biomedical sciences. Participants will have the opportunity to work with faculty in various fields, including developmental, immuno, structural, molecular, cell, and cancer biology. Students in the program will obtain hands-on biology research experience in cutting-gedge laboratories, interact with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students, attend scientific presentations by preeminent faculty, and participate in skills and professional development workshops. The program culminates in a summer research symposium where students will present their work. Accepted students receive a stipend of $6,500 and housing accommodations. The program encourages applications from domestic and international undergraduate sophomores and juniors with a minimum GPA of 3.0, completed college-level general biology and introductory chemistry, some advanced science courses, and previous research experience. Areas of research include animal models of disease, cancer biology and genetics, cell and organelle biology, cell signaling and regulation, chemical biology, developmental biology, experimental pathology, gene expression, genomic integrity and DNA repair, genomics, immunology, molecular biology, pharmacology, stem cell biology, and therapeutics.
