Summer 2008 Undergraduate Research Opportunities
At the moment, all posted opportunities for Summer 2008 are full.
Many professors provide a flyer with information about research opportunities in
their lab for the current semester, but some do not. Be sure to investigate all
the research being conducted by both the Division of Cell Biology, Microbiology
and Molecular Biology and the Division of Integrative Biology faculty. If you see
something that interests you, contact the professor via email to see if they have
an opportunity in their lab. Use the links on the left for each Division to find
the faculty and research.
