The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) has provided funding for the COMPASS Program, which is an immersive, 2-year internship program that offers a unique blend of rigorous, hands-on research, mentorship, and practical training to develop the future workforce to make cell and gene therapies.  COMPASS scholars will also participate in specialized workshops, seminars, and networking events, and they will have the opportunity to expand their professional network, interact with industry leaders, and gain valuable insights into the many facets of regenerative medicine.  Students start the program in the beginning of their junior year.
