The Centre for Brain Research (CBR) is excited to invite applications for the CBRAIN Internship Program 2025. Building on the success of two previous cycles, this summer internship offers a unique opportunity for young, bright minds to immerse themselves in the vibrant research and innovation ecosystem at CBR.
This year, the program aims to provide participants with rigorous hand-on training in basic science research focused on studying the aging brain from molecular, cellular, and neurophysiological perspectives.
Under the mentorship of leading scientists in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, the interns will gain practical training in wet-lab techniques and engage in impactful research aimed at deciphering normal and pathological brain aging.
We invite passionate and aspiring students to join us in exploring the complexities of the aging brain and contributing to significant discoveries in this field.
