Is this right for you?
This program is for you if…
Your student checks at least one of these boxes:
✓
They're aiming for BS/MD, pre-med, or a top STEM program — and need more than grades and test scores to stand out.
✓
They're genuinely fascinated by cancer biology, immunology, genetics, or how the human body works at a cellular level.
✓
They've never done original research — and want to know what it actually feels like to work alongside a university professor.
✓
They want something real on their college application: a published paper, a thesis defense, and a professor's Letter of Recommendation.
"A Published Paper, a Thesis Defense, and a Professor's Letter of Recommendation are the three most powerful things a high school student can have on a college application."
What students achieve

Curriculum
The 7-track roadmap to publication
Every track is purpose-built. Together they take students from "I have an idea" to "I have a published paper" — over 12 to 15 weeks of structured, expert-guided work.
Track 1Scientific Research — The PI Method8 sessions · PhD Full Professor of Biology · Sundays 3:30 PM EST
Foundations of Life SciencesCell biology, DNA, RNA, proteins, and the molecular basis of life — building the scientific foundation for biomedical research.
Disease MechanismsHow diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular disease develop at a cellular and molecular level.
Therapeutic ApproachesCurrent treatments, drug development pipelines, and active research directions in biomedical science.
Deep Dive: Research TopicsResearch tools and techniques; students identify and read peer-reviewed articles in their chosen biomedical area.
Contents of a Research PaperPaper structure, academic databases, citation tools, and Q&A on the reading set.
Group Discussion — Topic BrainstormStudents propose research topics; professor guides on feasibility, originality, and scope.
Group Discussion — Topic FinalizationEach student finalizes their individual research topic and direction.
Research Review & OutlineDeep dive strategies, data collection guidance, and rough outline per student.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do students need prior research experience?
No. You just need curiosity. The PI Model breaks the 4,000-word project into small, guided steps — students go from zero to published paper without any prior research experience.
How does this help my child's college application?
A published paper, a thesis defense, and a professor's Letter of Recommendation are among the most powerful credentials a high school student can have. Very few applicants have any of these — your child would have all three.
Are these group sessions or individual?
Research (Track 1), Writing (Track 2), and Defense (Track 3) sessions are group format. Private 1-on-1 Deep Dives (Track 4) and the Creative Writing Pod (Track 5) are individual. Students get both.
What if my child misses a session?
Recordings are available on the Learning Management Portal. Attendance is mandatory in all sessions per week — every session builds directly on the last.
Do you guarantee the paper gets published?
We don't guarantee publication — no one can. We do guarantee every student finishes a submission-ready paper with full guided submission support and a faculty review.
Is there support between sessions?
Yes. WhatsApp group for parents, Discord for students, and Program Coordinators, Research Interns, and Coach Jo available anytime via WhatsApp, Discord, email, or phone.
