Are you curious about cutting-edge biomedical research? Wondering what graduate school is really like? The D.E.G.RE.E shadowing program offers undergraduate students a rare, immersive opportunity to explore the world of biomedical research first-hand.

Over the course of three days, participants will be matched with a graduate student mentor working in their field of interest. You'll step into the lab and experience daily research life at one of our top-tier institutions: RGN, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI), CHEO Research Institute, University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI), or National Research Council (NRC).

From cancer biology to genetics, cardiovascular science, immunology, computational biology, and beyond — you’ll witness how groundbreaking discoveries happen and gain insight into the path of a graduate researcher.
