The research projects vary yearly and the topics will be provided to the incoming interns before starting of the program. A Round Robin Project Matching Meeting will be held to match students’ research interests with the mentors’ projects. Then, each intern is assigned to a research project working in the mentor’s laboratory. The research projects offered during the summer of 2007 are summarized as follows:

• Growth, Development and Arrest of Met-1 Mammary Tumors
