Training Programs
We know that genomic science can transform our world, and we need to ensure that people of all backgrounds have a say in where that transformation leads us.
Our project-based learning opportunities for high school through undergraduate students are designed to encourage more students to enter into STEM fields so they can be a part of this revolutionary science.
We are also committed to mentoring graduate students and postdocs and providing them with the guidance and skills they need for successful careers in academia, industry, and beyond.
