University students interested in spending the summer in a lab at IRB Barcelona are invited to send their applications to participate in the programme “Spend the summer at the Park!”, organized by Barcelona Science Park (PCB). The deadline is April 19.
The aim of the programme is to bring the world of research closer to university students through their participation in projects being carried on in the labs. IRB Barcelona, located at the PCB, is actively engaged in the programme and has already trained 50 students in the last five years. The Institute’s 22 labs and six core facilities have admitted students on Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Biophysics and Pharmacy degrees in universities worldwide.
From June to September, the practicum in IRB labs will be carried out in research groups that are focused on cell and molecular biology, structural biology, bioinformatics and biochemistry. The duration of the programme is from two to three months and students who participate in the programme will receive a grant of 250€ per month.
