Education Collaborators and Resources

Our Lab collaborates with several programs, both university-wide and nationally, to offer research opportunities to students of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects.  Students who are BE and CIS majors with strong computational and programming skills are preferred.  Python, Java, and R are also preferred.  Experience with deep learning methods is desirable. Alternatively, experience with clinical research (in clinic settings) is desirable.

Summer Undergraduate Internship Program (SUIP)

The University of Pennsylvania Summer Undergraduate Internship Program is a 10-week intensive summer research opportunity for undergraduate students, especially those who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense, interested in pursuing careers in scholarly research. Interns will be matched with a Principal Investigator (PI) based on shared research interests. Interns will work with PIs and other lab mentors throughout their time at Penn to develop laboratory and research skills essential for future graduate school experiences. In addition to laboratory work, interns will participate in seminars that will enrich their understanding of science, participate in professional development workshops, graduate school preparation seminars, and have the opportunity to present at the SUIP Symposium. SUIP is designed for students who aim to pursue a PhD or an MD-PhD in biomedical studies.  Interested students from outside of Penn should review detailed information here.

Penn Undergraduate Research Mentoring Program (PURM) 

Since its inception in 2007, Penn has supported undergraduate research through the Penn Undergraduate Research Mentoring Program (PURM). PURM provides students completing their first or second undergraduate year the opportunity to spend a summer conducting cutting-edge research under the guidance of a standing Penn faculty member.  Interested students should apply here: 

The Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships (CURF) 

Assists undergraduate students in discovering their research passion.   To date, we have had two students from this program.
