Greehey CCRI Undergraduate Summer Internship Program

The purpose of the Greehey CCRI Undergraduate Summer Internship Program is to allow talented undergraduate students interested in a career in academic research the opportunity to spend approximately ten weeks during the summer conducting hypothesis-driven research in childhood cancer in one of the laboratories at the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute.

Most research-oriented academic institutions offer programs for undergraduate summer students to experience laboratory research. Still, access to such opportunities in a dedicated children’s cancer research environment is a unique offering. Since research being conducted at our facility utilizes a wide range of techniques and model systems, students can experience not only a unique firsthand look at children’s cancer research but will be able to do so from both basic science and clinically relevant experimental paradigms.

Students here experience a distinctive first-hand look at childhood cancer research and can do so from both basic science and clinically relevant experimental paradigms.

Our program is intended to educate the next generation of cancer researchers and has offered students from throughout the nation and from around the world, opportunities to learn in a fast-paced, cutting-edge, cancer research environment.
