One Week One Lab (OWOL) is an initiative designed to introduce college students to advanced scientific research by immersing them in the environment of a cutting-edge laboratory for a week. The program aims to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world scientific exploration by providing hands-on experience in fields such as molecular biology, neuroscience, bioinformatics, and more. Through OWOL, students engage in workshops, interact with leading researchers, and gain exposure to high-end techniques like CRISPR gene editing, single-cell sequencing, and advanced microscopy. The initiative helps aspiring scientists develop critical thinking, technical skills, and an understanding of how research contributes to solving complex biological problems.By bringing college students into active research labs, OWOL fosters curiosity, innovation, and a deeper appreciation for scientific discovery, ultimately inspiring the next generation of researchers.
