BIO 4800 - Cell and Molecular Research I

Prerequisite(s): BIO 2900/BIO 2910; BIO 3000/BIO 3010; EGR 3430; Senior standing in Biology program.
In order to merge molecular skill and biomedical knowledge, this two-semester series requires students to carry out basic or applied research in a medical laboratory. Students initiate the project by receiving an appointment to work in a research setting on a novel, short-term, wet-bench research project. The student project is guided by a Mentoring Committee to whom the student submits project plans, interim reports, and final outcomes. A public defense is required in the second semester. This project will motivate students to apply foundational skills and analytical abilities in preparation for advanced study in human or animal medicine. Credit(s): 6
