The disciplinary focus of the program is biomedical science with additional emphasis on mathematics and biostatistics. Each student will work in the laboratory with a University of Tennessee, Memphis faculty member to develop research skills and conduct a research project. Academic coursework, career counseling, and a study of science ethics are included in the project. Students present their research in a poster session/science fair at the conclusion of the program.
