Summer research projects reflect a broad-based perspective on the entire research cycle, from discovery to development to delivery of care. This includes translational research that moves laboratory findings to the bedside and, conversely, clinical insights into the laboratory. Projects include laboratory bench research, clinical research, biostatistics and epidemiology, as well as quality assurance.
