In Cactidu Research Publication programs, students will be thoughtfully paired with faculty mentors who possess expertise closely related to the students’ specific areas of interest. When students apply to our programs, they will have the opportunity to choose subjects they are passionate about. Our team will then take these preferences into account when pairing students with a faculty mentor who is well-suited to guide them. Once the mentor-student match is established, a comprehensive research topic within the chosen subject will be collaboratively determined through discussions between the students and their mentors. Our program offers a diverse range of opportunities across various fields, including chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, and more. At Cactidu, we carefully select faculty mentors, ensuring they have exceptional credentials, including strong academic backgrounds from prestigious universities, extensive teaching experience, and a unique ability to inspire the enthusiasm and creative potential of high school students. Our esteemed faculty mentors can be found below.
