Outreach Programs
Waksman Student Scholars Program (WSSP)
Provides authentic research in microbiology and bioinformatics opportunities for local high school students and their biology teachers. By actually doing science, students gain an understanding of how science operates and are encouraged to continue their education and careers in a science discipline.
Waksman Institute Summer Experience (WISE)
The WISE programs engage high school students in an authentic research project in molecular biology and bioinformatics. It focuses on the DNA sequence analyzes of genes from the duckweed Landoltia punctata, and how these compare to those found in other species. Duckweed is a fresh-water aquatic plant that is of interest to the scientific community.
