Stony Brook Medicine’s Science and Research Awareness Series, better known as SARAS, celebrated its 22nd year this summer.n The Center for Biotechnology is a long-term supporter of the event as it speaks to our passion for helping to train the next generation of life sciences professionals.
Founded by Dr. Srinivas Pentyala, a professor and the director of translational research in the Department of Anesthesiology, SARAS is a three-week immersion into healthcare and biomedical research, built and staffed almost entirely by Stony Brook Medicine’s own physicians, nurses, researchers, and administrators. This year 125 high school students were given the opportunity to experience the "full arc of medicine"as Dr. Pentyala noted, and understanding that "the basic science, the translational science, how it is discovered… unless it is discovered or invented by someone, it cannot be translated in a clinic.”
Since its founding, SARAS has trained more than 4,000 high schoolers. Read more on this year's program and the here.
