Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT)
Scholar Summer Program
(Undergraduate students beyond freshman year)

Although great strides have been made in cancer over the past few years, we still need dedicated young investigators to continue the fight.

The program targets students after their first year of undergraduate studies with successful completion of basic course work in the sciences (biology and/or chemistry). Opportunities are available to study molecular biology, animal models, genomics, and drug discovery as well as DNA repair, cell cycle biology and stem cell biology.

A list of the faculty and their research projects are listed below
