BEYOND ALBERT

The BEYOND ALBERT High School Research Program supports high school students in the Bronx in a combined, two-part educational research experience at Albert Einstein College of Medicine taking place during the summer and after school.

The summer session provides full-time, hands-on laboratory research experience and biomedical education over the course of eight weeks. The 2024 summer session runs from July 1 - August 23, and as a participant, you would attend Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

After completing the summer session, you can choose to participate in the after-school program, which meets weekly from September through May, on Thursdays, 4:30–6:30 p.m. During the after-school program, you will attend a variety of scientific talks and participate in workshops designed to develop scientific thinking and research skills. Additionally, we provide individual mentorship to support your career and professional development.

Program activities include:

Hands-on research experience in the laboratory
Career and professional development workshops
Seminars and Workshops led by Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center faculty, postdocs and students
Developing your own research presentations, with the opportunity to present your work to faculty
