Learn scientific thinking, systematic literature review & writing.
Students form a research group or team with their instructors and assume responsibility for a project. They learn techniques, applications, hypothesis-driven research, and scientific writing.
Learn scientific principles of research, writing and presentation.
Rational thinking and systematic review of the research topic.
Learning to differentiate knowledge from perception bias.
Statistical considerations in generalizing concepts comprehensive understanding.
Guided conduct of research.
Learning about technologies and methodologies in biomed field.
Identifying relevant data sets and tools for specific study.
Insight into topic prioritization.
ERP Fellows conclude their apprenticeship by producing a publication, research poster, and featured website.
Outperforming students are presented with an award at the closing symposium and recommendation letters for forthcoming applications.
Mentoring from established scientists in the field of biomedical research. Small group allows students to develop rapport with instructors and opportunity for in-depth research
A review/ publication to showcase the learnings and aptitude of the student for prospective admissions and other opportunities
ERP provides guidance tailored to your unique academic aspirations. Most of our ERP fellows are ready to conduct part-time research in their college laboratories in their freshman year.
Colleges value students who think forward and thereby invest time and effort into building a knowledge base. Ivy league colleges look for that spark and passion that can set the students apart from their peers.

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), a debilitating condition that disrupts communication between the brain and body, often resulting in paralysis, sensory loss, and chronic health complications. SCI can arise from traumatic events (e.g., accidents) or non-traumatic causes (e.g., degenerative diseases). Diagnosis relies on imaging tools like CT scans, MRIs, and myelograms to assess damage and guide treatment plans.

ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder, leads to the degeneration of motor neurons, resulting in muscle weakness, loss of motor control, and eventual respiratory failure. The study focuses on the interactions between the SOD1 gene and proteins CCS (Copper Chaperone for Superoxide Dismutase) and Superoxide Dismutase 2

HPV-positive OPSCC is primarily caused by persistent infection with HPV16, leading to oncogenesis via viral oncoproteins E6 and E7, which disrupt tumor suppressor proteins p53 and Rb1. In contrast, HPV-negative OPSCC is associated with lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and betel quid chewing, leading to mutations in tumor suppressor genes.

Melanoma accounts for 1.7% of global cancer diagnoses and is the fifth most common cancer in the USIt has risen in developed countries with a majorly fair-skinned population.This project studies the hypothesis that telomerase rever transcriptase (TERT) and shelterin complex (TERF1/2) gene mutations will be present in Melanoma patients, and that the presence of these mutations will lead to a poorer prognosis in melanoma patients.

The progressive loss of CD4+ T-cells within a host due to an outside pathogen leads to a severe immunodeficiency disease called human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). As a result, HIV patients are more likely to acquire pathogens from an oncological or infectious nature, and pose lethal threats to the body

Triple Negative Breast Cancer is unique because of its lack of HER2, estrogen, and progesterone receptors present in tumors. This limitation greatly reduces treatment options because conventional therapeutic strategies, such as hormone-based treatments and inhibitors, are inefficient and lack efficacy. The identification of distinct TNBC subtypes, such as those associated with BRCA mutations or dysregulated PI3K/AKT pathways, opens avenues for personalized treatments.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) are conditions that arise from mutations in the dystrophin gene, a critical protein responsible for muscle stability and function. DMD, the more severe form, results from a complete absence of dystrophin, while BMD stems from reduced or partially functional dystrophin protein.

Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) results from conditions like coronary artery disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, and genetic mutations affecting heart muscle structure and function. The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) plays a significant role in HFrEF progression by causing vasoconstriction and fluid retention

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease resulting from demyelination, dangerous areas of the central nervous system (CNS) such as the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. MS is characterized by the destruction of myelin, the sheath that insulates the axon of a nerve, interrupting communication signals in the brain.

In familial pancreatic cancer, there exists a kindred which contains at least a pair of first-degree relatives who were affected with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Roughly 5 to 10 percent of patients suffering from pancreatic adenocarcinoma have this aspect. Half of these with familial pancreatic cancer are male, and the average age at diagnosis of affected members is younger than the usual.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant of brain tumors, classified as a grade IV glioma that originates in glial tissue. GBMs have a low median survival rate of 15 months, despite surgery and treatment with a chemotherapy drug. The reasons for this low overall survival rate is because of GBM heterogeneity and differing mutational profiles within the tumor itself.
