RUYES offers a fully funded, two-year mentored cancer research experience at a leading cancer institute, specifically targeting and supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds.
The Rutgers Youth Enjoy Science (RUYES) program offers high school students intensive, hands-on training in cutting-edge cancer research. Participants conduct projects in mentor-supervised laboratories, gaining practical skills in hypothesis testing and data analysis. The program emphasizes professional development, including seminars on scientific literature review and networking opportunities with researchers and medical professionals. Students will prepare and present their research findings at an Annual Research Day, developing crucial communication skills. The program aims to inspire and educate students from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue careers in biomedical and cancer science, contributing to a more diverse healthcare workforce.
Students spend approximately 35 hours per week in mentor-supervised laboratories, actively engaged in hands-on cancer research projects.
This program is ideal for highly motivated and academically able rising high school juniors/seniors interested in pursuing a career in biomedical or cancer science, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds.
