Throughout this 10-week program, Amgen Scholars will develop the skills necessary for careers in science through a combination of hands-on research, mentorship, professional development activities, and social activities. Amgen Scholars conduct hands-on, innovative research in cutting-edge facilities at the University of Toronto under the mentorship of faculty with opportunities to work in cancer biology, cardiovascular science, cellular and molecular biology, immunology, neuroscience, regenerative medicine and others.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; color: black;\">Applications are being accepted for the Summer 2024 cohort until February 1, 2024.
