Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers provide students with an in-depth introduction to cancer biology, lab skills, and clinical research training after school beginning in November. Students also participate in an intensive eight-week internship during the summer, where they receive one-on-one mentorship as they delve into a specific cancer research topic.
Memorial Sloan Kettering is the world’s oldest and largest private cancer research center, and its Summer Student Program places high school interns inside the same labs that drive MSK’s core cancer research.
