Undergraduate Research Internships
CGS
works with a number of Pittsburgh-based institutions to provide meaningful
hands-on research internships for undergraduate science and engineering
students. In addition, CGS independently provides competitive stipends for
3-5 exceptional undergraduate summer interns each year. Students are
encouraged to consider returning for multiple years as this provides them
with the best chance to actually conduct their own research project. This
project is coordinated by Dr. Garth Ehrlich,
CGS Executive Director and Dr. Fen Hu,
CGS Operations Director.
Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative
For each of the past five years CGS scientists, Dr. Garth Ehrlich and Dr. Sandeep Kathju, have sponsored a PTEI
Summer Intern to work on the Scarless Wound Healing Program. Applications for this internship must be submitted
directly to the PTEI. See (www.ptei.org) for application
information

CGS Summer Internship Program
If you've ever wanted to know what the life of a scientist is like, this is
the experience you've been looking for. A CGS summer internship provides an
