The Harvey A. Friedman Center for Aging at Washington University in St. Louis is hosting an eight-week full-time immersive summer research experience for up to 10 undergraduate students who are interested in exploring opportunities in research on aging.
Through this program, students will have the opportunity to learn about three neurological conditions and diseases that often interplay with the aging process: stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia and gain experience working in research labs and centers focused on these issues. Students must have completed at least two semesters by the start of the program; those attending universities and colleges in the St. Louis Metropolitan Region (MO and IL counties) will receive priority. Students do not need to have previous research experience. In fact, one of the program's goals is to provide students with an introduction to the experience of working in a research center or lab.
