The program offers high school students the unique opportunity to engage in mentored bench research within a university lab, with potential for contributing to publications and continuing their research.
Rising high school seniors participate in an intensive 8-week MohanLab Summer Internship Program at the University of Houston. The program begins with 1-2 weeks of instruction in basic laboratory techniques, followed by six to seven weeks of mentored bench research. Interns engage in hands-on research projects in areas such as biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering, big data analytics (including AI and image analyses), and neuroscience. Students work under the guidance of a scientist or graduate student, assisting with experiments, data analysis, and literature reviews. The internship culminates in an oral presentation of research findings at the University of Houston. Depending on the project, some research may contribute towards publications, and students have the option to continue their work beyond the internship period, engaging in manuscript writing and/or further data analysis.
After initial training, a typical day involves undertaking bench research under the guidance of a scientist or graduate student, assisting with experiments, data analysis, and literature reviews.
This competitive program is ideal for rising high school seniors with a strong academic track record and an interest in pursuing careers in biomedical, bioengineering, computer science, medical, or health sciences.
