2007 Summer Internships
January 16, '08 - Two more students from the 2007 CCIS/ITI Summer Program were named yesterday as National Semifinalists in this year's Intel Competition, and are still in the running to make it to the National Finals. Participation in the Intel and Siemens competitions has often served as a precursor to impressive accomplishments in science. Past finalists hold more than 100 of the world's most coveted science and mathematics honors including six Nobel Prizes, three National Medals of Science, 10 MacArthur Foundation Fellowships and two Fields Medals. Congratulations to Kanika Agarwal (working in PJ Utz' lab with Angela Landrigan) and Rebecca Chen (working in Mark Davis's lab with Michael Kuhns) on this fantastic accomplishment.

Two students from this past
summer's CCIS/ITI Summer Program have been named as National Semifinalists
in this year's Siemens Competition, and are still in the running to make it
to the National Finals. They are: Trit Garg (working in Shoshana Levy's lab) and Bonnie Wong (working in Olivia Martinez's lab).
Participation in this competition has often served
as a precursor to impressive accomplishments in science.
The Summer Internships took place from June 18 until August 10, 2007. This year, 22 high-school-aged students performed experiments at the School of Medicine to uncover some of the remaining mysteries in the realm of immunology. The students participated in the eighth year of the summer student intern program sponsored by the Center for Clinical Immunology Studies and the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation and Infection (ITI). Led by P. J. Utz, MD, associate professor of immunology and rheumatology, the program mentors students paired with a graduate student, fellow or faculty member. This summer’s 22 interns were juniors and seniors at local high schools ranging from San Jose to San Francisco, plus one home-schooled student. They landed spots in the labs of immunologists, microbiologists and pediatricians exploring the immune system. On August 9, a Poster Session was held showing the excellent work of our students.
Please check back for the application for 2008 in the fall of 2007.
In July 2007, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) awarded a grant of $150K per year for 5 years starting in 2008 to the High School Summer Internship Program.
