University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry

Welcome to our new group of Summer Scholars!

Over the next several weeks, these undergraduate students will gain hands-on research experience, work alongside faculty mentors, and explore careers in biomedical science across disciplines ranging from neuroscience and genetics to cardiovascular research and translational medicine.

We’re excited to see what they discover this summer!

The new Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health Sciences brings together nationally recognized expertise in toxicology, epidemiology, public health policy, and community engagement to accelerate discoveries into real-world health solutions.

This also means broader learning opportunities for trainees at URochester Medicine. 🌎🔬
