OHSU CDCB Summer Research Internship Program
Interns will immerse themselves in an 8-10 week research experience over the summer, working directly with established mentors in various fields of biomedical research, including but not limited to cancer biology, immunology, cell and developmental biology, and biomedical engineering. Interns will attend weekly lunch education sessions covering topics from cutting-edge technologies and animal models, to career development. Students will also participate in a weekly journal club where they can develop skills required to read and critically evaluate primary literature. As a culminating experience, each intern will prepare and present their research at the final poster session to their peers and members of the Cell, Developmental & Cancer Biology Department.
The CDCB Summer Internship Offers:
- Direct hands-on experience in running basic lab techniques.
- An introduction to experimental design and critical thinking.
- Participation in a guided project facilitated by a departmental researcher.
- Development of written and oral communication skills.
- Various networking opportunities with a community of scientists.
- Both wet and dry lab experiences.
Eligibility:
- We are looking for motivated college undergraduates with a strong interest in a career in biomedical sciences and who have completed introductory science courses.
- Students must be available and present for the duration of the internship, no vacations/breaks may be taken.
- Unfortunately, we are unable to provide visas to foreign students.
Internships will take place in Portland, Oregon at either the Marquam Hill or South Waterfront campus (depending on lab placement).
