OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center established the Cancer Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) Program to enable outstanding undergraduate students to work alongside experienced cancer investigators to encourage their interests in and preparation for careers in cancer research and medicine.
The CURE Program offers students a chance to receive intensive hands-on training and experience in active research laboratories over an nine-week summer program. In addition, the scholars will also be a part of a journal club and many other exciting opportunities.
