New York Bioforce
“What is NY Bioforce? New York Bioforce is a comprehensive biotechnology internship program that seeks to provide hands-on research experiences to high school students. Participants will receive over 100 hours of research training, ranging from hands-on biomedical research skills like PCR, gel electrophoresis, and microscopy, to science communication and networking skills. After the training is completed, students will be matched with research mentors from prestigious labs and companies from around New York, including labs at Columbia University and Weill Cornell Medicine. Participants will spend 160 hours in labs under the guidance of their mentors to complete research projects.
We anticipate this program will attract extremely motivated students who want to gain authentic research experience and work alongside world-renowned scientists. 24 students will participate in NY Bioforce, which will hold the training sessions in April through June, followed by internships in July and August.”
