Stem Cells & STEM Education – a Summer Internship Program for California High School Students
We propose a program that removes the barriers for disadvantaged California high school students to receive mentored, hands-on learning experiences in stem cell biology at a world-class research institute with an esteemed track-record of educating the next generation of scientists, including at the high school level & from under-represented minority (URM) & socioeconomically-challenged backgrounds. Access […]
Train, Educate, and Accelerate Mastery of Stem cell research (TEAMS) program
It is well documented that trainees from groups underrepresented in the STEM fields leave the research workforce pipeline, with many progressively losing interest in research-intensive careers. To overcome this, we will leverage our institution’s long-standing success in education and training toward engaging underrepresented individuals in the field of regenerative medicine. The Train, Educate, and Accelerate […]
