GENTalks: Introduction
GENTalks were designed to be a series of short recorded presentations on novel, exciting and futuristic topics in genomics, that might capture the imagination of students and scientists. These presentations were recorded by students and staff in the studio of the Department of Film and Media Studies at Hunter College. Although the COVID pandemic delayed the editing and timely release of these presentations, we are happy to begin providing this material for our community. We hope you find them stimulating and informative, and we welcome your feedback in writing.

Hunter RISE Program
The Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) program was initiated at Hunter College in 1981 and in 2000 was changed to the Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) program. RISE provides underrepresented students majoring in biology, biochemistry, psychology and physics opportunities to complete research training. Students participating in the program are provided with financial, research and professional support to prepare them for Ph.D programs in biomedical sciences. The students are involved in research projects with faculty members in the biomedical research field on a year-round basis. Since its inception, the RISE program has produced approximately 75 Ph.D.’s. Currently, the program provides financial and professional development support for up to 15 undergraduates and 14 Ph.D. students.
