The Biotechnology Summer Academy, directed by Dr. Afifa Sabir, Education Coordinator for the Center for Integrated BioSystems.

Biotechnology Summer Academy exposes high school students to the numerous career opportunities available in biotechnology. Students are mentored by USU faculty who work in various disciplines. The week’s activities include communication workshops, lectures and demonstrations, laboratory training, field trips, mentoring and research.

The program is an intensive five-day internship in a biotechnology-related project. Faculties from several departments at Utah State University volunteer their time, talents and labs to teach students and involve them in current research.
