Summer Research
First Summer (In-site) at UPR-RP
IDGeNe students receive “in-house” training in professional development during the first summer (june and july) via:
- courses
- workshops
- laboratories
- other activities…
At the same time, students begin working on a project in genomic research in the laboratory of one of the local mentors. After the summer, they continue their research work during the academic year.
These summer activities are held at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus
Second Summer (Off-site)
One of the fundamental activities of our Program is for undergraduate students to participate in a summer research experience at one of the participating institutions. Students participate in a 10-week research experience in a top-tier mainland university.
