Spending 10 weeks of their summer immersed in biomedical research at UMass Chan Medical School has helped define career perspectives for the 40 participants in the 2023 Summer Undergraduate Research Program.
Catharine F. H. Wingle, Adrián Márquez Hernández and Raheem S. Sheikh are high-achieving college undergraduates pursuing careers in medicine and science. Along with 37 other highly qualified college juniors and seniors from across the United States and Puerto Rico, they spent their summer in the cutting-edge laboratories of UMass Chan investigators.
For Wingle, Márquez Hernández and Sheikh, the program instilled in them self-confidence, an appreciation for a collaborative research environment and diverse learning community, and an understanding of the importance of communication and shared ideas.
