This program is intended to expose students interested in science to cutting-edge imaging technology and quantitative biology. Participants will have lectures given by Prof. Digman, Prof. Gratton and postdoctoral fellows in the area of optical imaging. Student  have the opportunity to do a “mini” research project testing hypothesis driven biological questions. These practicals are not cookie cutter hands on sessions but are intended to inspire critical thinking and test new hypothesis currently being investigated in our scientific research lab.
