INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY FOR CURRENT JUNIORS AND SENIORS – The 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: </FONT><A href="http://ehs.sph.berkeley.edu/holland/"><SPAN
