The Graduate School of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research
The newest class of Stowers Summer Scholars arrived at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research this week from colleges and universities spanning the globe. Twenty-one aspiring scientists will spend the summer immersed in a specific research topic in a Stowers Principal Investigator lab or Technology Center, gaining new scientific skills, knowledge, and hands-on research experience within the collaborative nature at the Institute.
The Summer Scholars program is a rigorous and rewarding internship designed to expose undergraduates to graduate level research. Each scholar is paired with a Stowers researcher who will serve as their mentor, guiding them through an independent research project while learning state-of-the-art techniques and technologies. Weekly seminars provide access to and engagement with the variety of scientific fields and topics studied at the Institute. Culminating the eight-week program, each scholar will communicate their research at an all-Institute poster session.
The program, considered a springboard for talented early-career scientists, is administered through the Graduate School of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, and funded by the Stowers Foundation.
