There are two opportunities that exist for undergraduates looking to gain experience in a laboratory setting:

  • Public Health Lab Academy

     

  • Volunteers: Students may volunteer in the laboratories for the academic year, the summer break or both. Scientists at Wadsworth Center will accept high school students as volunteers in their laboratories, although college students are more likely to find placement. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. If you wish to volunteer in a Wadsworth Center laboratory, consult senior staff to identify a specific scientist whose research is of primary interest to you and contact the scientist directly either by phone or e-mail.

Wadsworth Center Launches the First Cross-Division Summer Public Health Laboratory Academy

The Wadsworth Center has been educating undergraduate students for several decades through the Research Experience for Undergraduates Program. Over the last three years we have been building on that experience to launch and expand the summer Public Health Laboratory Academy – an applied research internship experience funded in partnership with the Association of Public Health Laboratories. This year, we have 16 synchronous-track students and three asynchronous-track interns across infectious disease, environmental health, and genetics.
