BioMed Focus

BioMed Focus is a paid, full-time, 8-week summer research program for rising juniors and seniors to gain research experience by working in laboratories at the University of Michigan, Michigan Medicine. At present, BioMed Focus can only accept participants from Belleville High School, Lincoln Senior High School, and Ypsilanti Community High School. BioMed Focus Scholars train with a selected mentor to complete a hypothesis-driven independent research project. In addition to first-hand research experience, students complete a science communication course and a college preparatory course. At the end of the program, each Scholar writes a manuscript of their research project and presents a research talk for their family and friends during a symposium.

We thank our sponsors for their generous support of the BioMed Focus program and our mission!
