Summer is a great time for students to learn something new, grow and have fun.  This program at the University of Pennsylvania gives students the opportunity to do all that plus get college and career exposure.

The four -week, non-credit Biomedical Research Academy immerses you in some of the most cutting- edge areas of biomedical research, including cardiovascular disease, oncology, immunology, and neuroscience.
Morning lectures provide a solid foundation in molecular biology and genetics and offer in-depth views into the key research programs and therapeutic approaches of biomedicine today.  Most afternoons are spent in Penn biology labs where you gain first-hand exposure to the experimental techniques and tools employed by biomedical researchers.  You will also work with Penn researchers on a specific topic in biomedical research to explore both the scientific and medial aspects of diseases.
Prerequisites:  One year of high school Biology is required for application.  One year of high school Chemistry is advised.
