Salk EDGE Summer Program
The goal of this technique-intensive summer program is to train graduate students on cutting edge research techniques. This is also a unique opportunity to recruit these stellar PhD students into Salk labs for their upcoming post-docs. Students have chosen a topic to be immersed in while at Salk including Genome Editing in Cancer, Computational Neuroscience, or Bioinformatics of Immune Cells. During their two week stay at Salk this summer, they will meet with faculty interested in recruiting post-docs as well as our current trainees and staff. They will also give short talks on their current research.
