New England Biolabs® Molecular Biology Summer Workshop
Learn molecular biology in 2 weeks!
The two-week New England Biolabs® Molecular Biology Summer Workshop at Quinnipiac University is an intensive, immersive experience that introduces learners to high-level concepts within the field. No previous experience in molecular biology is required or expected, and participants will be selected from a variety of disciplines and academic backgrounds to maximize collaboration and expand your professional network. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
