2022 Scripps Camp
These camps are for students interested in computer, math, science, and medicine. The CB (computational biology: virtual and the first week of in-person) camp will focus on the role of genomics in diseases and symptoms and guide students in performing computational biology research using patient RNA expression data to identify genes related to certain diseases (transcriptome research).
CB (virtual and the first week of in-person) camps cover the same research process but with a different project for students to participate in.
On day 1 of the CB camp, each small group will determine a disease of focus for which they will work to identify either novel diagnostics or treatment options. Their research tools will be those currently used by scientists. This approach is different from conventional high school education as there are no right answers, only uncertain but logical exploration towards new findings.
During the second week of the in-person camp, you will learn to use the Linux operating system and various Linux commands to run programs to analyze high-throughput sequencing data obtained from patients with COVID-19.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Academically motivated current (2021-22) high school and incoming 9th grade students interested in computers, math, science, and medicine.
