On April 22nd, 2016, Students enrolled in the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (C-STEP) have be given the chance to meet and discuss with Stony Brook University Genomics Researchers.
The C-STEP program “encourages and prepares more historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged Stony Brook University students for entry into scientific, technical, health, and health related professions.”
During this event, students have discussed the wide variety of career opportunities provided by Genomics, from mathematics, to computer science, personalized medicine, genetics and marine sciences. Nine departments and Centers from Stony Brook University were represented.
