Environmental Health Science Division at UC Berkeley is looking for
2-3 current high school juniors and seniors to volunteer as summer
interns in their lab. Dr. Holland is the director of the School of
Public Health Biorepository which houses, maintains, and analyzes
thousands of samples from ongoing and previous studies. Interns will
be primarily working on projects relating to the Biorepository.~ They
will learn how to bank samples, use Access based databases to properly
log and retrieve samples, and become familiar with sample storage and
management. In addition, interns will have the opportunity to learn
basic lab science techniques and be introduced to advanced laboratory
skills including biological sample processing, DNA isolation,
genotyping, PCR, ELIZA, and enzymatic assays. This is a great
opportunity for students thinking about a career in research or
medicine. No prior lab experience is necessary.  Students must commit
at least 4 days a week, at least 5 hours a day, for at least one month
during the summer.  For more information about the lab, please visit:

email an updated resume, including courses taken this semester and
