The Institute for Public Health welcomes the students participating in the 2017 Summer Research Program.
The program is supported by the Institute for Public Health, the Global Health Center at the Institute for Public Health, the Departments of Medicine, Molecular Microbiology, and Pediatrics in Washington University’s School of Medicine, and Children’s Discovery Institute of Washington University and St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
Through this competitive opportunity, students work closely with outstanding faculty mentors on special research projects focused on public health and global health. There will be a series of seminars offered throughout June and July, as well as a culminating symposium, all of which will be open to the public (details below).
