Undergraduate Immunology Summer Program

The Immunology Graduate Program at Harvard Medical School offers a Summer Undergraduate Program in Immunology. The program is for 10 weeks from early June through mid-August. It consists of a combination of weekly lectures and laboratory work with faculty from the Immunology Graduate Program, with extensive interactions with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows as well. The intention is to provide an exposure to current topics in Immunology to undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing graduate school. Individuals from colleges in which the topic is not taught or presented in depth are especially welcome. Selection criteria include undergraduate background, interest in studying life sciences at the graduate level, and letters of reference. Preference will be given to students who are in their sophomore or junior year. Individuals from under-represented minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. A stipend of $ 3,000 will be granted to those students accepted into the summer program.

The deadline for applications is February 1, 2008.

If you are interested, please submit a brief letter explaining your interest in the summer program, a copy of your college transcript and two letters of reference from faculty at your college to the address below:
