The Biological Basis for Human Disease

The Summer Scholars program has been the best experience of my life. Not only have the academics given me a fun challenge like never before, but the relationships I've built with my amazing peers and staff are some of the most meaningful I've ever had. This five-week journey is one I would happily take again.
