2016 Gateways to the Laboratory Program Concludes

On August 9, the 15 students of the 2016 Gateways to the Laboratory program gave oral and poster presentations, in which students gave talks on the culmination of their summer research. Stephen H. Lockhart, MD, PhD (Tri-I Class of 1985) gave the keynote address. Family members, friends, mentors, and faculty were all invited to attend.

The Gateways program provides a unique opportunity for disadvantaged and/or minority college students to prepare for a successful start as a physician-scientist. During the past ten weeks, students had the chance to participate in leadership and career development workshops, have a mentorship with a Big Sib (current MD-PhD student), and independently conduct research.
