The Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) Summer Internship Program provides the opportunity for undergraduate students from US colleges and universities to receive mentorship and training from HuBMAP labs over the summer.
During the internship program, students will conduct cutting-edge research, greatly expanding their knowledge of biology and data analysis. Students will develop a variety of skills throughout the summer, preparing them for future research endeavors. These include learning GitHub, Python, JavaScript, other coding languages - especially for those students that pursue a computational internship experience; working with lab techniques and technologies, such as sample preparation, pipetting, and analysis - especially for those students that pursue an experimental lab experience; developing knowledge of spatial transcriptomics, 3D imaging, visualization, and data analysis; and learning skills that are applicable to all sciences and even other fields, such as reading publications, giving scientific presentations, resume writing, and conducting journal reviews.
