The George Mason University Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program was established in 2007 by Dr. Lance Liotta and Dr. Emanuel Petricoin III for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to gain hands on experience in laboratories at the Prince William George Mason University Campus.  Students are exposed to cutting edge technology and have the opportunity to work in areas of science including but not limited to Proteomics, Genomics, Neuroscience, Biochemistry, and Environmental Science. Hard work often pays off with participants’ names published in scientific journals and their work presented at scientific conferences.   In addition to gaining invaluable laboratory experience pivotal for college applications and resumes, students also have the opportunity to meet with scientists from varying disciplines in the scientific field during career day presentations. 

The 2008 Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program will begin on Monday June 23, 2008 and will conclude with a poster session and reception on Monday August 18, 2008.

 

“The GMU Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program was a fantastic learning experience that expanded my horizons and strengthened my desire to pursue scientific research as a career.  In addition to meeting several interesting people, I learned essential lab skills and grew as a student & a person.”
