Summer Experience 2021 Posters
The MD Anderson Summer Experience is an umbrella program of the various academic summer programs at MD Anderson. The umbrella program provides activities such as lectures, seminars, workshops, poster presentation and networking events. This is in addition to the hand-on research training they receive from their faculty mentors. Research posters presented in this collection are a summary of the research activities of our students during their internship at MD Anderson.
