TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF GREAT MINDS

We are at an incredibly exciting time in science. Partnering with the

California Institute of Quantitative Bioscience and the California

Translational Science Institute, scholars will not only be able to see

how science is born in the lab, translated and commercialized,

but will actively engage in research projects and work with biotechnology

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIASAN FRANCISCO

Founded nearly 150 years ago, UCSF is the only campus in the 10-campus UC system dedicated exclusively to the health sciences.

UCSF also serves the city’s vulnerable populations at its affiliates San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center and the San Francisco Veteran Affairs Medical Center as well as several health care facilities, including St. Anthony Free Clinic, Buchanan Dental Center and Glide Health Services.

Its faculty include five Nobel laureates, who have made seminal contributions to advance the understanding of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, aging and stem cell research.

FOOTHILL COLLEGEFoothill College is a community college located in Los Altos Hills, California and is part of the Foothill–De Anza Community College District. It was founded on January 15, 1957. The college offers 79 Associate degree programs and 107 certificate programs. It is named one of California's "best community colleges” and FHDA transfers the most CC students to the UC. Unduplicated headcount of 31,358 and FTES of 13,146.

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

UCSF, Foothill College and the Sathaye Foundation are committed to achieving excellence through diversity in the classroom, the research lab and the workplace. It strives to establish a climate that welcomes, celebrates and promotes respect for the contributions of all faculty, staff, students and trainees.

White Coat Ceremony: Formal White Coats will be bestowed on all scholars in the program. Seminars: Focus on key techniques and current advancements in the fieldSpeakers: Focus on learning how faculty, scientists, post-docs and graduate students got to where there are, with an strong emphasis on perseverance and persistence. Qb3 Start up: Shadowing QB3 Start ups and their daily efforts to push technologies from the bench to commercializationTea Time: A moment to reflect about rotations, engage with peers and engage with the rest of the UCSF community.

THE PROGRAMRotations

All students will participate in 2 of 4 unique rotations in labs that have the following scientific specialties:• Computer Science (Computational Modeling and gaming

for the developing brain Labs)• Neurobiology (Molecular Biology of the Aging Brain Labs)• Medical Device (Development of Prosthetics Labs)• Translational and Clinical (MRI, speech and CTSI labs)

Students will be placed in rotations by their interests and skills

RECRUITING FROM FOOTHILL COLLEGE

We would like to develop a truly multi-disciplinary program and will be recruiting from the STEM sciences, with special focus on the following majors:

Engineering,Biomedical,

Biological sciences,Neurosciences,

Chemistry, Physics,

Computer sciences

PROGRAM MISSION

Innovations resulting from science, technology, engineering and mathematics have transformed nearly every aspect of

human life.

Scientific innovations do not arise on their own however; each is brought forth through the hard work and ingenuity of

scientists.

The mission of this program is to identify and mentor the next generation of great scientists. To identify students with

potential, passion and perseverance and provide them with the skills and tools to become future leaders in the field.
