URP participants work on an ongoing research project in one of CSHL’s expert labs. Research at CSHL focuses on:
- Molecular Biology & Cancer
- Genetics & Genomics
- Neuroscience
- Plant Biology
- Quantitative Biology
In addition to doing research in the lab, URP participants attend a series of specially designed workshops, seminars and collegial events. Workshops focus on learning particular skills, such as Python programming, while seminars cover research topics, responsible conduct of research, and career development. At the URP Symposium at the end of each summer, students present their research to the entire CSHL community.
URP participants live and work among CSHL scientists. They are invited to all Laboratory social activities – including two exclusive dinners, one with CSHL President Bruce Stillman and one with Chancellor emeritus and Nobel Prize winner James Watson. On weekends, students are free to explore nearby New York City or the sandy beaches of Long Island.
By the end of the summer, URP participants have first-hand experience of a career in scientific research.
The 2018 URP Program will be held June 11 – August 11, 2018.
