Students interested in summer research in any area of biomedical science, chemistry, bioengineering or chemical engineering are encouraged to apply. Students will be paired with a UCLA faculty mentor if the student does not already have a mentor at UCLA. Please visit the Amgen Faculty web site for information on over 100 potential mentors on the UCLA campus.
In addition to working full time in the laboratory for 10 weeks, the program features:
- Weekly luncheons where students can meet and discuss science with invited faculty speakers
- Weekly workshops on such topics as applying to graduate school, how to write a personal statement and how to give a research presentation
- Three- day Biotechnology Symposium sponsored by the Amgen Corporation held in Los Angeles
- GRE test preparation
- Access to UCLA campus facilities
- Social events to network with other summer researchers
