'This new program highlights our growing commitment to creating a diverse workforce, one that taps into communities that have been historically underrepresented in the biomedical sciences,' Dr. Maria T. Millan said.
Cal State San Marcos has been awarded a nearly $3 million five-year grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to invest in its new COMPASS training program, it was announced Friday.
"This new program highlights our growing commitment to creating a diverse workforce, one that taps into communities that have been historically underrepresented in the biomedical sciences," said Dr. Maria T. Millan, president and CEO of California Institute for Regenerative Medicine."The COVID-19 pandemic made it clear that the benefits of scientific discovery are not always accessible to communities that most need them.
The program will recruit first-year CSUSM biotechnology undergraduate students as well as students from the high schools. As part of the mentoring program, CSUSM is partnering with La Jolla Institute for Immunology and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery. The institutions will present tours and instruction on the different components of each organization's research and development pipelines.
