University of Colorado Cancer Research Experience for Undergraduates
The Cancer Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU) at the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus, provides undergraduate students with hands-on research experience in the field of cancer biology. Participants will work alongside leading researchers in state-of-the-art laboratories, engaging in cutting-edge cancer research projects. The program includes seminars, workshops, and networking opportunities to enhance understanding and foster career development in biomedical research.
Through the University of Colorado Cancer Center's Cancer Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU), every summer 23 college undergraduate students are given the opportunity to spend ten weeks in our laboratories at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. CREU is supported by R25CA240122 and the University of Colorado Cancer Center.
The goal of the program is to engage scientific curiosity in the next generation of scientists, challenging qualified college undergraduates to consider a cancer-related career in the future.
An additional 4 under-represented minority students will be selected to be funded through the American Cancer Society Diversity in Cancer Research mechanism. The application process is the same for either mechanism
