Established
in 1993, the UCLA Bridge Program has offered community college
students the opportunity to work closely with UCLA faculty
during the summer months on research projects in the biomedical
sciences. This Summer Research Program accepts applications
from students who are currently attending a community college
in the Los Angeles area. Applicants must have a cumulative
minimum GPA of 2.80 in math and science courses and have

and techniques commonly used in biotechnology. Participants
then work in the laboratories of UCLA faculty who are active
in the following fields of study: Biology, Genetics,
Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Immunology, Inorganic Chemistry,
Biophysics, Neuroscience, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology,
