ABOUT US
The purpose of the RMTL Academy is to
train students to conduct research in a biochemical science lab to prepare them to enter graduate programs in the health sciences and/or pursue careers in healthcare in order to address health disparities. Our program partners with Title I schools, which serve a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
