Mr. Jason Econome, Research Coordinator at Stuyvesant shares:
Our research program is as strong as ever, teaching students to read published papers, design properly controlled experiments and perform basic molecular biology techniques. The year typically culminates in the form of a very exciting summer internship where students perform a research project in a professional laboratory under the supervision of a qualified mentor.
Although there has been some success placing students into desired laboratories, there are still many who are without a mentor; many of the city’s hospitals and universities are still not running at full capacity because of the lingering pandemic.
Thank you for considering this request for research mentors and please stay healthy!
