CityLab’s SummerLab Biotechnology Programs
What is SummerLab?
Created in 1995, this summer program at Boston University School of Medicine provides an opportunity for students to learn and apply basic techniques and concepts related to biotechnology. Working in teams, the participants assume the role of researchers in a biotechnology company and work cooperatively to choose and perform appropriate laboratory-based investigations to solve problems in biotechnology.
The CityLab Biotechnology SummerLab provides:
· an authentic hands-on laboratory experience in biotechnology
· freedom to design and plan experiments
· support to learn from mistakes
· pertinent readings to prepare for the investigations
· laboratory time to apply the techniques and concepts of biotechnology in a problem-based authentic setting
· an opportunity for students to communicate their findings during a poster session
SummerLab meets for one week in July or August, from 9:00AM to 3:00PM.
Housing is available for participants on the Charles River campus (additional fees apply and will be announced shortly).
Food, transportation and lodging are NOT provided for commuters.
Please contact CityLab for additional information.
