What happens to our aging cells? | How are female and male brains different ? | Is yeast more intelligent than humans?

These are questions students explore in our research immersion program.

Our research immersion program

gives students research experience from developing a hypothesis, conducting field work, designing and running experiments, collecting and analyzing data and communicating their results. Project curriculum consists of fundamental molecular biology topics, modern lab methodology, bioinformatics and statistical analysis. The program is currently offered year round to pre-college students through a partnership with UCSD Extension.
