Congratulations to Sara McPherson (Stirling Lab) for receiving the GSAT summer student scholarship for her project entitled, "Dominant Missense Genetics of DNA Repair to Uncover Novel Synthetic Lethal Interactions."

Participating undergraduate students get hands-on research experience with researchers from the Centre for Blood Research, the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, the International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries, the Genome Science and Technology Graduate Program, and the UBC School of Biomedical Engineering. 

FoM MRPM provides undergraduate students with an opportunity to explore their interest in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research by undertaking a summer project supervised by a cross-faculty pair of researchers based on the success of the University of British Columbia at Okanagan’s Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Projects in Health program.

Congratulations to Makenna Clement-Ranney (Hoodless Lab) for receiving the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada-Undergraduate Student Research Awards (NSERC-USRA) for her research entitled, "Establishing a model to study human liver development in vitro through comparison of 2D hiPSC cell culture and 3D hiPSC-derived organoids."

BC Cancer Studentships are sponsored by the BC Cancer Foundation and support senior undergraduate university students and/or junior medical or dental students seeking hands-on training in cancer research in British Columbia. These summer studentships may address any discipline of cancer research including clinical, translational, basic, behavioural and population research areas. 

Congratulations to Danny Liu and Dexter Kim on receiving this year's BC Cancer Studentships. 

Established in 2017, these awards are held annually to celebrate outstanding companies and supervisors who have supported the Science Co-op Program and its students through work integrated learning opportunities.
