The James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute
 

Summer Urological Research Experience

AT THE JAMES BUCHANAN BRADY UROLOGICAL INSTITUTE
THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

The Summer Urological Research Experience (S.U.R.E.), which is supported, in large part, from a grant from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, is a great opportunity for students to move beyond the classroom learning experience to gather the knowledge and skills needed to pursue a career founded in the biomedical sciences. 

The James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute provides a unique opportunity for young scientists to work alongside some of the leading researchers in urology and oncology while utilizing a broad range of techniques and methodologies. Our Department has the unique ability of providing young researchers with a chance to see how research done at the bench can be translated into patient care.

In addition to the vast amount of research experience that will be gained during the 10 week program, students will be given numerous opportunities to attend lecture and seminars given by the University’s and the  Department’s numerous gifted faculty that will prepare them for the paradigms, problems, and technologies in biomedical research.  This year the program is scheduled to run from June 4th, 2012 to August 10th, 2012.  Interested parties should have their application materials submitted no later than March 15, 2012.
