Program Dates
REx Biomedical: July 6 - 18 and July 20 - August 1
REx Environmental Health and Toxicology: July 6 - 18
The REX program is an advanced introduction to research science. From basic science research to the development of new applications, therapies, and technologies, students learn how research scientists and engineers contribute new knowledge and innovative approaches to tackle societal issues. Students visit active research laboratories and facilities, attend discussions highlighting current research at UF, and participate in hands-on activities and experiments with leading UF research faculty and graduate students.
In the Biomedical program you’ll explore biomedical sciences, from discovery-based research to clinical therapeutics. You will learn advanced experimental techniques, including DNA science, protein science, CRISPR, and more.
In the Enviromental Health and Toxicology program you will investigate the impacts of air and water pollutants on human health and innovative solutions to mitigate their effects. You will study topics from the epidemiology of disease to conservation and ecology through field work and experimental techniques, including environmental DNA analysis, bioinformatics, and toxicology testing!
