A Great Research Opportunity for High School Students!
Join us for a week of scientific research in the lab. Bacteriophages are tiny phage viruses that attack bacteria, and are useful in human medicine. A huge, invisible world of phage viruses are yet to be discovered. We explore our campus in search of these novel phages. We purify, visualize and characterize new phages as part of an ongoing research project.
Study virology and microbiology — mentored by college professors!
Join us daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday, July 17 through Friday, July 21, at our Webster Groves, Missouri campus, for an authentic research experience!
$350 tuition reserves a spot (lunch and t-shirt are included).
