Students gain a uniquely immersive experience with the One Health approach to antimicrobial resistance, working with experts from diverse fields and contributing to a global research project.
The Tufts Pre-College: Lab Science Investigations - AMR Research program offers high school students an immersive, hands-on research experience focused on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Students engage in laboratory techniques such as microbiology plating, pipetting, serial dilution, PCR, and microscopy. The curriculum is structured around a "One Health" approach, recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health in the context of AMR. Participants will hear from experts across various STEM fields, including physicians, biomedical scientists, engineers, dentists, veterinarians, epidemiologists, and environmental scientists, all working together at the Tufts Levy Center for Integrated Management of Antimicrobial Resistance (CIMAR). The program includes a seminar series, lab explorations where students contribute experimental data to a global geospatial database, and a team-based capstone project. Students will gain valuable scientific communication skills and experience interpreting and analyzing real experimental data in real-world contexts. Field trips to Tufts Medical and Veterinary Schools are also part of the experience, providing exposure to state-of-the-art clinical facilities.
A typical day involves a seminar series with lectures from Tufts faculty and CIMAR members, hands-on lab explorations utilizing various scientific techniques, and work on a team-based capstone project.
This program is ideal for science-interested high schoolers who want a laboratory-based experience contributing to a research project addressing a critical societal challenge like antimicrobial resistance.
