The Molecular and Cellular Biology Program  at Dartmouth offers opportunities for undergraduates to participate in a 10 week summer research program. Underrepresented minority students and students from institutions lacking research opportunities are strongly encouraged to apply.

The program is part of the vibrant research community at Dartmouth that includes undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers. Projects can be performed in the laboratories of faculty mentors in The Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) Program.  The MCB Program is comprised of faculty, graduate students & post-docs primarily from four departments spanning Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School:

Department of Biological Sciences
Department of Biochemistry
Department of Genetics
Department of Microbiology and Immunology

You can learn more about Dartmouth from this brochure and by visiting the Dartmouth College and at Dartmouth Medical School Home Pages.
