The Undergraduate Cancer Research Training Program (UCRTP)
is a 12?week research program for outstanding undergraduates
who are contemplating careers in biomedical?related fields and working with
underserved communities. UCRTP is a summer internship hosted by Charles Drew
University (CDU) , in partnership with the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
at UCLA. An individualized program is developed for each trainee who will work
with a faculty mentor at CDU or UCLA . Each trainee will work on a research
project (topics include but not limited to molecular, cell, developmental
biology and genetics of cancer; the influence of nutrition, diet, exercise on
cancer risk; and translatingonal basic research into therapeutic agents for
patient benefits), learn procedures on the laboratory workbench, present
progress reports at weekly lab meetings, lead one Journal Club meeting. To
complete the program, each undergraduate trainee will write a research paper
based on their findings that is submitted to the mentor for evaluation and
feedback. Students will have an opportunity to present the paper at a
scientific conference. We have two internship tracks: May21-Aug10 or June
18-Sept7.The application deadline is February, 1, 2012.
