SARAS is a 3-week, summer program designed to heighten the awareness of High School and Undergraduate students of basic, clinical and translational sciences and associated specialties in the biomedical field.



Scientists, physicians, allied health professionals, health administrators and other experts — mainly from Stony Brook Medicine — taught students about different topics, specialties and also laboratory and clinical techniques. Interaction between these experts and the students enhanced the educational experience and gave the students insights into topics and careers in biomedical science.
What is SARAS?
- Workshops, Lectures, Discussions & Expert's Views on Topics in Biomedical Sciences
- Lab Safety Sessions leading to Certification to Work in a Research Lab
- Exam prep sessions to get ready for SAT/ACT/MCAT
