Did you know? SF BUILD enables students from underrepresented groups in science to draw from their unique personal experiences to successfully pursue a career in biomedical research. This includes investigating biomedical research questions relevant to local communities while engaging in “giving back” research and engaging with successful role models and their contributions to local communities to help increase motivation for a career in biomedical research.
