The Department of Human Genetics (DHG) enthusiastically welcomes summer research students to the department and our labs. The goals of the DHG Summer Student Program are to enhance and enrich students’ learning experiences and introduce them to the DHG research community here at the University of Michigan. Regardless of the summer program students may be affiliated with (if any), we organize activities that bring all students together, such as weekly lunches where students can hear about our graduate training programs (PhD, MS, Genetic Counseling), learn about the wide range of career paths students with genetics and genomics experience can pursue, meet DHG faculty, get to know our graduate students and discuss cool genetics topics.
