industry professionals and gain hands-on learning experience in and outside of the classroom. Our mission is

to provide the best experiential, university-based summer programs that positively impact students" lives

academically and beyond.

This course is conducted in partnership with Polygence, the premier online research academy for motivated

students looking for dedicated mentorship from expert academics and practitioners.

What's the Role?

Academy summer enrichment course at University of California, Berkeley. This full-day, two-week academy is
