Note: this opportunity encourages applications from community college students.Description: The Biomedical & Bioinformatics Research Internship and Training Experience (B-BRITE) at OHSU's Knight Cancer Institute offers highly motivated college students interested in exploring biomedical research an immersive 8-week hands-on research experience.
Interns will work 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 participate in a guided research project facilitated by an experienced researcher, attend weekly educational seminars and trainings delivered by faculty and research professionals, and build connections through networking opportunities within a broad community of scientists. As a culminating experience, each intern will prepare and present their research to their peers and members of the Cell, Developmental & Cancer Biology Department at the final poster session.
Students from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM, those who are first generation college students, and those from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Thanks to funding from the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, the program is able to provide stipends for all interns. Limited need-based housing and airfare support is available.
