Summer Undergraduate
Research Fellowship |
 |
| Class of 2004 |
This is your chance to experience
a potential career in biomedical research. The fellowship
includes 10 weeks of experimental study in a research
laboratory. Weekly luncheons are provided with faculty
and graduate student led discussions on relevant
topics such as: “Tools for Succeeding in Graduate
School,” “Are You Ready to Start Your
Own Biotechnology Company?” and “Genetic
Architecture of Aerobic Capacity.” This will
allow you to discover your research talents and
provide experience for deciding on a scientific
research career.
The due date for applications
and 2 letters of recommendation is February 25,
2005. |

| Comments From
Past Participants |
“This summer has changed my outlook
for the future." "Working one-on-one with
people in the lab has been a great experience.”
“It's not like college lab courses where things
are laid out for you in advance.”
“This program gives me (students) a chance to
test-drive a career in science, basic research and
get paid for it.”
“I’ve always wanted to get into research
and by getting my foot in the door, I know exactly
what I want to do from here on out.”
“This program was a rich opportunity to conduct
research in a field that interested me and be advised
by leading scientists.”
"It's incredible how much is going on at MUO
in research.”
“The fellowship allowed me to discover what research
talents and skills I have, plus experience that will
help decide on a lab career.”
“Beyond the lab, I found the weekly seminar series
to be extremely useful for providing insight into
several career opportunities in science. This insight
has solidified certain career goals and opened doors
to new possibilities. I would recommend the program
to students interested in challenging themselves mentally
and embarking on a fulfilling experience at a premier
institution.”
The programs at the Medical
College of Ohio provide opportunities for independent
research in an environment that encourages friendly
and productive interactions between the students
and faculty supervisors. The programs are intended
for students with genuine interest in pursuing experimental
research careers in biological science.
