No further applications will be accepted.
If you have already submitted an application, you will be informed via e-mail as to whether you were accepted or placed on our waitlist.

Led by COEC Director, Kathy Vandiver, each day begins with several engaging activities to refresh core concepts including cell division, mutation, DNA damage and repair, and protein synthesis. We include a trip to the MIT Museum’s “Learning Lab: the Cell” on Wednesday. The afternoons feature lab work and research presentations on DNA damage and repair by Prof. Jackie Yanch and Prof. Bevin Engelward. A hands-on investigation with mutant yeast cells will be conducted in the Samson Lab. This investigation may be made available for classroom use in 2009.
