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: <a href="http://ehs.sph.berkeley.edu/holland/"><span style="text-decoration: underline ; color: #0000ff">http://ehs.sph.berkeley.edu/holland/</span></a> .
