Helios Scholars at TGen offers a unique opportunity for students to work directly with leading biomedical scientists on active, life-changing research projects, providing a rare blend of hands-on experience, mentorship, and professional skill development.
Helios Scholars at TGen is an intensive eight-week paid summer internship program in biomedical research. Participants work full-time on research projects under the mentorship of TGen scientists, engaging in hands-on laboratory techniques, bioinformatics, and statistical analysis. The program focuses on unraveling the genetic components of diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, diabetes, and infectious diseases. Scholars also gain professional skills through educational seminars, scientific writing practice, networking events, and a culminating research symposium where they present their findings. The program emphasizes collaboration, critical thinking, and a deep dive into the translational process of moving scientific discoveries from the lab to patient care.
A typical day involves working 40 hours a week alongside a TGen scientist on an ongoing research project, participating in experiments, data analysis, and attending professional development seminars.
This program is ideal for high school students (graduating seniors), undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students who are interested in biomedical research and want to gain practical, hands-on experience in a professional lab setting.
