Overview
We offer a variety of workshops on molecular medicine for high-achieving high school and middle school students interested in pursuing careers in medicine or related fields, such as biomedical research, drug development, pharmacy, bioengineering, or nursing. Workshops are taught by PhD-level instructors with years of research and teaching experience. Camps are offered in summer and winter and there are online and in-person options available.
Through engaging lectures and hands-on laboratory classes, students learn normal molecular and cellular biology, and then learn how these normal processes are disrupted or distorted during the development of disease. There is a heavy emphasis on experimental design, modern drug development, and the emergence of the era of personalized medicine. To conclude the workshop, students use what they have learned to create an original research project. More broadly, workshop attendees strengthen their academic skills, build their college portfolio, and explore potential career options while making friends from around the world and experiencing college dorm life in a safe environment.
Our university-based workshops are held at Columbia University, Imperial College London, UC Berkeley, and UC San Diego, and both residential and commuter options are available. University-based workshops include Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular Biology of Cancer, Astrobiology, AI-Enhanced Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology of Aging, Neurological Bioinformatics, Molecular Immunology, Bioinformatics of Aging, and Bioinformatics of Cancer. Biomedical Research – a workshop focused on learning modern molecular biology laboratory techniques - is taught at our lab in the Bay Area, CA.
Our online workshops include Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Medicinal Chemistry and Medical Bioinformatics. Intro to Cellular and Molecular Medicine is our entry-level workshop that is only two hours/day. Students in the Medicinal Chemistry and Medical Bioinformatics workshops learn how to use online tools to analyze biochemical data.
In the fall/spring, we also offer a multi-month immersive molecular biology/bioinformatics experience at our professional biomedical lab in Alameda, CA, USA (between San Francisco and Oakland).

I was really glad that we were able to use such advanced lab technology and I found the course material very intriguing. It was such a privilege to learn about so many things in such a short amount of time without the pressure of grades.
She thought the teacher was exceptional and shared a lot of depth in the area where she has completed her PhD work.
This was my first ever summer camp and it couldn’t have gone better. Not only did it open my eyes to a field of science I want to pursue, but it also gave me a chance to explore the campus of my dream school. All of the kids were so nice and the cancer class turned into one big family after 2 days which was amazing. I still talk to some of the people I meet through the camp. Overall, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Our son met some incredible friends and learned that he can do a great job even when he hadn’t taken biology. He was very proud of this achievement.
I was really nervous about sending Alexis to the camp, but she is loving it! She’s enjoying every day!! And now she wants to be a neurologist.
