For the third consecutive summer, IGI hosted undergraduate researchers from Hampton University<\/a>, a historically Black university in Hampton, Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summer students, Aniyah Barnett and Nurashau Blount, each did two months of full-time research in Jennifer Doudna\u2019s lab at the IGI. Aniyah and Nurashau worked on projects focused on how viruses interact with the human immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nurashau, a rising junior, was introduced to the IGI through Hampton professor Graham Chakafana<\/a>. She plans to pursue a STEM Ph.D..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis opportunity really stood out to me because it was at UC Berkeley,\u201d says Nurashau. \u201cAnd it\u2019s been wonderful. I\u2019m grateful to be in a state-of-the-art lab. There are so many resources, which made my experience 10x better. The biggest challenge for me was to be in the research mindset all the time, troubleshooting experiments, doing benchwork or bioinformatics. I loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aniyah, a rising senior majoring in biochemistry at Hampton, applied to several summer research programs, but most were cancelled because of federal funding cuts, or were not viable options because they could no longer provide financial support. The IGI program provided housing and a stipend to cover travel and living expenses so students could focus on full-time research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely challenging being here because everyone is so smart and doing such in-depth work, but it\u2019s also very rewarding,\u201d says Aniyah. \u201cAt Hampton, we don\u2019t get the opportunity to spend so many hours in the lab. Here, research is really fast paced and it\u2019s people\u2019s main job. My favorite part was doing bioinformatics. And Jennifer is great \u2013 we get to brag about working with her to other interns!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aniyah and Nurashau are both considering applying to UC schools to pursue advanced STEM degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students were mentored by Erin Doherty, a postdoc in the Doudna lab, who was inspired to connect IGI with HBCUs after seeing the success of the UC-HBCU Initiative at UC Davis as a graduate student. After bringing the Initiative to Jennifer Doudna\u2019s attention, they identified Graham Chakafana, a professor at Hampton University, as a potential collaborator, and worked together to submit a proposal to the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UC-HBCU Initiative was started in part to address the low numbers of Black Americans in UC graduate and professional programs \u2014 just 4% versus 14.4% of the population as a whole. Black Americans are underrepresented in STEM and initiatives like this one are one way to help create a STEM research community that reflects the diversity of our population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I was a graduate student at UC Davis, we hosted a summer student through the UC-HBCU Initiative. He ended up coming back to Davis for the graduate program. Over time we saw more students from his HBCU applying and getting accepted,\u201d says Doherty. \u201cAnd once we started to have an influx of students from underrepresented groups, that makes the program more appealing to future students from those groups. They know it\u2019s a safe place where they can focus on the research and be supported. In my five years at Davis, I saw a shift in the demographic of students who were applying and starting in the program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IGI has been awarded major grant funding through the UC-HBCU Initiative to expand the connection with HBCUs.<\/a> For the next two summers, IGI plans to host HBCU students in IGI labs not only on the UC Berkeley campus, but also at UCSF, UC Davis, and UCLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy advice for people from Hampton or any HBCU would just be to really not doubt yourself,\u201d says Aniyah. \u201cA lot of times we think we\u2019re not as smart or we\u2019re incapable of showing up in these large spaces, but that\u2019s just not true. We have the ability to adapt and adjust. So, put yourself in those difficult situations and explore because you never know what it could give you and what you could give them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I would also say, don\u2019t let your initial discomfort turn you off,\u201d said Nurashau. You\u2019ll get used to it really quickly, faster than you think. We\u2019re almost at the end now and I feel really proud of myself, and everything that I\u2019ve learned. Keep with it even if it can get a little difficult at times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer, UC Berkeley\u2019s Inclusive Excellence Summer Research Experience program was a major support, helping provide funding, campus housing, professional development opportunities, and social programming for the Hampton students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce a week, we attend meetings that give us pointers for grad schools. We\u2019ve talked to panels of UC Berkeley graduate students. I really enjoyed being able to connect with them and ask questions,\u201d says Nurashau. \u201cOne of the best sessions was a week on mental health in graduate school, with a panel of grad students and a therapist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Inclusive Excellence Hub housed us at Anchor House, which is super nice,\u201d says Aniyah. \u201cThey went above and beyond to make us comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
