George Mason University Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program, Class of 2010
The George Mason University Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program was established in 2007 by Dr. Lance Liotta, Dr. Emanuel Petricoin III, and Amy VanMeter for high school and undergraduate students to gain hands on experience in laboratories at the Prince William and Fairfax campuses of George Mason University. Students are exposed to cutting edge technology and have the opportunity to work in areas of science such as Biochemistry, Biodefense, Bioinformatics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Science, Genomics, Nanotechnology, Neuroscience, and Proteomics. Hard work often pays off with participants' names published in scientific journals and their work presented at scientific conferences. In addition to gaining invaluable laboratory experience pivotal for college applications and resumes, students have the opportunity to meet with scientists from varying disciplines in the scientific field during career day presentations.

The 2010 Aspiring Scientists Summer Internship Program began on Thursday, June 24,2010 and concluded with a poster symposium on Monday, August 16,2010.
