Genomics Experience for Master’s Students (GEMS) is a 12-week program for master’s level quantitative scientists that aims to create an immersive experience for the student to engage in real-world team science projects and learn to apply and translate their quantitative skills into meaningful scientific contributions in cancer medicine with a focus on cancer genomics and precision oncology. This full-time, on campus research experience allows students to fully engage with mentors and a multidisciplinary research team on cutting-edge projects with the goal to propel them into genomics-oriented data science careers. Each fellow will have two mentors – one quantitative/computational mentor and one scientific mentor – to provide a highly interdisciplinary and immersive training environment and will prepare students for the interdisciplinary translational science workforce. Trainees must demonstrate a strong interest to learn cancer genomics and need not have experience in this area.
This year’s program will run from May 20th through August 9th and they are accepting applications until Tuesday, January 16th.
