Faculty

Students will be supported with a stipend and additional funds to pay for laboratory supplies in the participating laboratory. 


Rutgers-Newark and Rutgers Health New Jersey Medical School Pathway to Junior Scientist Program

College Undergraduate Students

The purpose of this program is to provide biomedical research opportunities to Rutgers-Newark undergraduates who are highly motivated to pursue a career in medicine or biomedical research (including data sciences).  This collaboration helps medical school faculties to identify and recruit promising students to work on their NIH-funded research.  The aim is to match students with a lab mentor who they can work with and get valuable experiences in research, while advancing the Newark research community.  The program commenced in early 2024.

Director:  Dr. Nan Gao ngao@njms.rutgers.edu
Administrator:  Ms. Jennifer Yaney jdalesan@njms.rutgers.edu
