Penn Institute for Regenerative Medicine

<p>I am sorry if my question is very stupid, but I just couldn't confirm this from anywhere.
Is it possible for a freshman student admitted to The College or Arts and Sciences to apply for membership in Penn's Institute for Regenerative Medicine?</p>

<p>It seems to be possible if you’re already active in appropriate research. But I can’t imagine an incoming freshman would have the background to qualify.</p>
