BioLAB program - basic information
The BioLAB program provides a one-year research internship in a laboratory located at one of the following four institutions in the United States to male and female master's and doctoral students in the biological, chemical and medical sciences:
· University of Virginia, Charlottesville
· University of Chicago, Chicago
· University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas
· Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, Oklahoma City
During the internship, male and female students conduct independent research in modern laboratories, the results of which are often published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. In addition, they actively participate in the life of an American university, attend seminars, guest lectures and learn about American culture. In some cases, they also have the opportunity to use their research results for a master's/doctoral thesis at their home university.
The program is dedicated to both male and female students with Polish citizenship, as well as foreign students who have completed their undergraduate studies at a Polish university.
