BioTrain Internship Yearbook

Since 2009 the HudsonAlpha BioTrain® Internship program has been providing opportunities for students to engage in innovative research and explore careers in genetics, genomics and biotechnology. BioTrain Interns gain essential professional skills and expand personal networks in preparation for life after graduation. Each intern has furthered our mission and shared with us their enthusiasm for learning. We have been pleased to watch their educational progress and successes and are especially happy when we see them again here at HudsonAlpha.

A summer internship at HudsonAlpha is just the beginning – BioTrain Internship participants continue to utilize their newly minted skills, knowledge, and experience long after they have returned home, fueling the impactful work they do in their own communities.

To foster connections between alumni, we encourage all former BioTrain participants to check our HudsonAlpha Facebook page, Twitter account and LinkedIn group to stay up to date on news and careers at HudsonAlpha Institute.
