Research Opportunities

"This [is a] new direction for the university's life sciences initiative [which] will redefine how we are doing science. We will use a research model that includes elements of clinical research, biological investigation, and large-scale data analysis." - Dr. Vikas Chandhoke, MMB interim chair and CAS associate dean for research

The Department of Molecular and Microbiology is closely associated with the CAS Life Sciences initiative which coordinates research through its many research centers and laboratories as well as affiliations with corporate and government agencies. Research is an important facet of a student's academic career. It prepares them for their professional career by providing experience in the field or laboratory. In the MMB, there are numerous opportunities for hands-on experience in applied research in several exciting disciplines. The links to the left provide information on the activities available.
