PNRI’s Summer Undergraduate Research Internship (SURI) is an exciting opportunity tailored for undergraduates passionate about biomedical sciences. This nine-week intensive, paid program offers a dive into research projects, scientific symposiums, and career development activities, giving aspiring researchers a platform to flourish.
Selected interns will collaborate on research projects under the mentorship of PNRI’s distinguished scientists. At the heart of this program lies an emphasis on exploring various aspects of biomedical sciences, including human genetics, microbiology, genome evolution, and neurodevelopment. The program culminates in the Intern Research Symposium, where participants present their work as a short talk.
Lidiia, a 2023 SURI graduate, reflected on her experience, noting, “I learned a lot about research, genomic analysis, and professional opportunities in the biotech field. It’s very exciting, every day you learn something new. I now have a better understanding about the work in the research lab, and I want to continue working in genetics.” Read more from the rest of the 2023 SURI graduates, whose firsthand experiences may inform and inspire your journey.
