 This program is designed to provide undergraduate students an opportunity to participate in cutting edge research on the cardiovascular system or the nervous system with members of the Dept. of Cell and Molecular Physiology (CaMP). The focus of the training will be actual ongoing research in individual laboratories. Students in the program will interact with other undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and medical school faculty, and will attend lab meetings, seminars and safety training. What is the “summer CaMP” SURPH fellowship program? Investigators in the department are funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, American Heart Association and various foundations. We are located at the Center for Translational Research and Education building of the Loyola Health Sciences Division, on the Maywood Campus. The Stritch School of Medicine is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive community that upholds access, equity and excellence as core values. We believe that diversity is integral to our mission of transformative education, innovative discovery and service to others.
