PGFI's internship program for University of Pennsylvania undergraduates runs from June 1-July 31. This program starts with two weeks of training in molecular biology and genomics techniques. During the remaining weeks of the program, students pursue solutions to problems selected to stimulate multidisciplinary creative thinking and research innovation. Dr. Adam Peritz, PGFI staff scientist whose expertise is in RNA chemistry, trains and mentors the students in the PGFI Educational Facility.
2009 Undergraduate Interns
As part of the internship program, interns attend a seminar series and lead paper discussions. Mentors, who are postdoctoral researchers and graduate students in the genome sciences, present their genomics work at these seminars. These postdocs and grad students are available to mentor the interns on science and career issues.
2009 Mentors
Interns present the results of their summer projects at a final symposium. This year, the symposium will be held from 3-5 PM, July 31. If you are interested in attending, please write to ef(at)genomics.upenn.edu.
PGFI is committed to increasing participation in the genome sciences. Women, minorities, and individuals from diverse and underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines are always encouraged to apply to and participate in PGFI's programming.
