Direct mentorship from a principal investigator and senior lab members at a world leader in cancer care and research.
The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center HOPP Summer Student Program provides an intensive 8-week summer internship designed for high school students eager to explore the frontiers of biomedical and computational research. Participants are immersed in hands-on laboratory work, undertaking independent research projects under the direct guidance of a Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program (HOPP) principal investigator. Each student is further supported by a dedicated mentor, typically a senior member of the lab such as a postdoctoral fellow, graduate student, or research technician, ensuring personalized instruction and supervision. Through this unique experience, students gain invaluable insights into the nature of scientific inquiry, develop practical lab skills, and understand the complexities of translational cancer research. The program cultivates a stimulating learning environment, empowering students to contribute to ongoing scientific investigations and explore potential career paths in the biomedical sciences. This internship is structured to provide a foundational understanding of cancer biology and research methodologies within a world-renowned institution.
Students engage in independent research projects, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and learning from their mentors in a laboratory setting.
