Over the course of seven weeks this summer, these KEYS interns will gain experience working on immersive, real-world projects under the mentorship of University of Arizona scientists. The program places interns in laboratories aligned with each student’s research interests. Research topics may include bioscience, biomedical science, biostatistics, engineering, data science or environmental health. At the end of the seven-week experience, interns present what they’ve learned at a research showcase.
