Van Andel High School Graduate Research Program — 2027

The eight-week programme places graduating high-school students alongside professional scientists. Participants perform hands-on research in fields including cell biology, epigenetics, genetics, structural biology, neuroscience, metabolism and bioinformatics. Work includes laboratory records, data analysis and safety practices, with mentor support, journal clubs and career workshops. A mentor-agreed final project may be a talk, review or research poster.
