Boston University’s School of Medicine is offering two separate tracks for SummerLab, its summer biotechnology laboratory program for students currently in Grades 9-12:

• DNA, Genes, and Drug Production (July 10-14 or July 24-28) focuses on the central concepts and skills of recombinant DNA technology as they apply to biotechnology — focusing on the processes of gene expression, cell lysis, and protein purification.
• Let’s Get Physio! (July 17-21) allows students to explore the relationships among body movements, power generation, biomechanics and muscle physiology — focusing on sports and exercise science and an introduction to data science.

Both programs meet 9AM-3PM daily. The cost is $1000 for one week or $1500 for two consecutive weeks, and scholarships of 50% are available for students who qualify for free/reduced price lunch program and children of full-time BU faculty and staff. Registration is now open. For more information, email sumlab@bu.edu.
