The University of Texas-Houston Summer Research Program provides intensive hands-on biomedical research training for undergraduate students under the direct supervision of experienced faculty research and teachers. The emphasis of the Program is to provide trainees with laboratory experience through specific research projects. The trainee's role in the laboratory is to participate to the full extent of his/her ability in background reading for the project, the experimental design, the technical aspects of carrying out the experimental analyses, the interpretation of data, and the summarizing of results. Trainees will submit a research abstract for publication and may be asked to present their data in a research forum. Trainees will also attend weekly seminars focusing on biomedical ethics, career development, scientific technique and new discovery, and the relationship between basic research and clinical applications. Specialized training in laboratory and radiation safety, laboratory animal methodology, and research technology is also provided. Other scheduled events include medical center tours and various social events. Only online applications are accepted. Supporting documents to the application should be mailed in a single envelope.Contact
