The goal of this program is to give high school juniors the opportunity to participate in biological and biomedical research at UC San Diego. Through this one-month internship, students become active participants in real scientific research and gain an immersive experience in how science is done. Interns learn about the full research process, from asking meaningful questions and designing experiments to carrying out studies and sharing their discoveries with both the scientific community and the broader public. The program is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and help students see themselves as future scientists.
