Cancer Research – Saturday Mornings
Description
Join the mission to understand and fight cancer through an accelerated research experience designed for students with a passion for discovery and a desire to change the world. Guided by a professional scientist and equipped with advanced tools that replicate real laboratories, including live cancer cells and qPCR technology, this hands-on program is built on the belief that curiosity, mentorship, and access to cutting-edge resources can empower students to make meaningful contributions to one of the world’s most pressing challenges. Whether you’re pipetting under the microscope or decoding data patterns, you’ll be immersed in the investigative process from start to finish.

You will design and execute original research studies using real living cancer cells. Applying advanced scientific methods, you will test hypotheses over an extended period and uncover meaningful correlations. You will also utilize artificial intelligence and statistical tools to analyze experimental data.

By the end of the program, your team will compile findings and conclusions, co-author a formal research paper, and submit it for publication. Last year, Celsius cancer researchers proudly presented their work at UCSF’s RISE UP for Breast Cancer conference—an inspiring showcase of student-led scientific impact.
