The Seattle Children's Research Training Program (RTP) is an in-person, competitive program designed to introduce high school students in 10th and 11th grades to laboratory research. Participants will gain hands-on experience in a research laboratory environment at Seattle Children's Research Institute, learning about topics such as biochemistry, immunotherapy, gene editing, and infectious diseases. The program emphasizes practical skills through lectures, hands-on lab modules, and facility tours. Students will also undertake their own independent research project, culminating in a final oral presentation to faculty and peers. Additionally, workshops on college readiness and career exploration are included to provide a solid foundation for future careers in biomedical research. The program prioritizes students seeking their first formal research experience and those from backgrounds historically underrepresented in biomedical and health sciences.
A typical day involves a mix of lectures on scientific topics, hands-on laboratory activities, and workshops focused on college and career readiness.
This program is ideal for high school students in 10th or 11th grade with a strong interest in biology, biochemistry, microbiology, public health, or related scientific fields, who are seeking their first formal research experience.
