We are very proud of our HS students who have been working in the MOHAN LAB!
Following 2 weeks of instruction and introduction to basic laboratory techniques, students completed bench research under the guidance of a scientist or graduate student over a period of 8 weeks. They have almost completed their summer research program and have learned so much in the areas of biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering, big data analytics, and neuroscience. The students are currently presenting their research findings and have been a true asset to engineering the future of medicine! Here are a few of the things they've said:
"Being part of the process of coming up with potential hypotheses for future experimentation was a new and very valuable experience for me - it taught me a lot about this stage of research."
"The mentorship, the discussions, and the environment you all created made it feel safe to ask questions and that’s not something I take for granted."
"I really enjoyed the opportunity to join existing research projects, as it allowed me to understand where my work would fit into a larger study. Working on publications for the projects is also giving me a larger perspective of the work and how what I did this summer fits in."
"I’ve gained a deeper understanding of the research process, improved my collaboration and communication skills, and felt truly challenged in the best way."
"[T]he university students and other high schoolers I met here are truly one of the most dynamic, curious, and creative group of people I have ever met"
