Total $2,900

Description

10/2 - 10/21 Apprenticeship training ＆ 10/28 - 11/18 Research

Registration fee $100 + Apprenticeship fee $2800

HS2 Academy is proud to offer a unique opportunity for students interested in learning about the molecular modeling techniques used in various biochemical laboratories. Through a rigorous 3 week apprenticeship program, students will gain a detailed understanding of laboratory techniques and become familiar with the software used in molecular modeling, such as PyMOL and UCSF’s Chimera software. This program can serve as excellent preparation for students interested in various research fields or eventual work in the pharmaceutical industry. It will also equip students with valuable skills to help them secure other internships in the future.

Guiding our students will be Dr. Andrew Pudzianowski, who holds a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Chicago. He performed postdoctoral work in the Molecular Theory Lab at Stanford School of Medicine, and he has previously worked as a Senior Research Investigator in Computer-Assisted Drug Design for Bristol-Myers Squibb for 30 years. Moreover, Dr. Pudzianowski worked as an independent researcher in computational chemistry and has trained many students in research techniques.

Students are expected to have a working knowledge of molecular structures, so completion of AP Chemistry is recommended, but HS2 can offer a training course to instruct students who have not yet taken AP Chemistry to instruct them on the essentials of molecular chemistry.

2-week Chemistry preparation course from 9/18 to 9/30 (if students have not taken AP Chemistry, $500 additional fee)

10/2 - 10/21 Apprenticeship training

Time: Tue & Thu 7:30 - 9:00 PM and Sat 1:00 - 4:00 PM Pacific time.

10/28 - 11/18 Research
