Prerequisite(s): CELL BIOLOGY and LABORATORY (BIO 2900 and 2910); GENETICS and LABORATORY (BIO 3000 and 3010); APPLIED PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS (EGR 3430) ; Fourth Year status as Molecular Environmental Biology major.
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. 6 CREDITS Credit(s): 6
