PROGRAM HISTORY
For over 30 years the Research Methodology Training Laboratory RMTL has trained and inspired students to pursue their careers in the biomedical and health sciences.
​​
The mission of the RMTL is to train students to conduct research in a biochemical science lab to prepare them to enter graduate programs in the health sciences addressing health disparities.
​
​
The Dr. Percy Russell, Ph.D. founded the RMTL in 1993. The RMTL is the only dedicated space on the Health Sciences Campus at UC San Diego for the training students. The laboratory is comprised of 600 sq ft lab space and a 110 sq ft computer analytical center. Students use the HCOE Laboratory year-round to develop their academic and professional skills and achieve their career goals.

The RTML continues to engage new community and academic partners to expand its reach and work toward increasing the diversity of the scientific and health care workforces. Together with our community and school partners in Southeast San Diego and City Heights, to our collaborations with the UCSD School of Medicine and School of Pharmacy, the RMTL continues to provide a safe nurturing and challenging environment for our students to grow and improve their academic and professional skills and achieve their goals.
