The BioLAB Program is a year-long research internship for students in biological, chemical, biophysical, medical, and related sciences (biology, biochemistry, biophysics, bioinformatics, biotechnology, physics, pharmacy, medicine, etc.) at four U.S. research institutions:
 
  • University of Chicago

During the internship, students conduct independent research in modern laboratories under the guidance of experienced mentors.
