All HPU students are eligible to join the HUI SRC. You do not need to have a background in science or medicine. Students from all backgrounds are encouraged to join the Center.
HUI SRC’s goals are to leverage entrepreneurial research, preparing students for graduate school and linking them into the scientific workforce. The Center was founded by the National Institute of Health and the National Institute on General Medical Sciences.
