NIH/CARE BISEP

Biomedical Science Enrichment Program

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome!

The BISEP program prepares students for upper division science coursework and undergraduate research.  The program consists of a Biotechnology Laboratory, Advanced Writing Seminars, Journal Clubs, Laboratory visits, Seminars, and Workshops. Upon completion of the NIH/CARE Biomedical Summer Enrichment Program, participants will be prepared to commence undergraduate research.  Program activities are specifically designed to support and to encourage students who intend to pursue careers in the biomedical sciences.

 

 

 

 

 

Special thanks to the NIH Initiative to Maximize Student Diversity, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Lewis Stokes California Alliance for Minority Participation, the UCLA Division of Undergraduate Education and the Qiagen Corporation for their generous support of this program.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I am currently in a research lab studying the brain differentiation of males and females. Because of BISEP, I have a better understanding of the experiments that are being done in the lab. Furthermore, I now think like a scientist and feel comfortable in the lab."

Paola Castro

Take a look at former BISEP participants
and what they had to say about the program:  

"Participating in BISEP over the summer was the best decision I could have made. BISEP provided a solid foundation of the basic, but necessary techniques used in biomedical research laboratories."

- Betsabe Torres

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"My favorite part of the program had to be the labs because they offered a hands-on experience. BISEP definitely increased my interest in joining a research lab. I would recommend BISEP to any freshman who has any inclination to do research one day because this program shows you what a researcher does and can do. "

"BISEP gives students the opportunity to grow both academically and professionally. It’s the prelude to a great career in the sciences."

"My overall impression of the program was great, it really gave me a feel of how the atmosphere would be in a lab. The experience I was able to be a part of is something that I will never forget,and it has inadvertently shown me more about myself."
