Faculty Research - Molecular Biology and Biological Chemistry

With more than 200 participating faculty, students have a variety of lab rotation choices in their first year of graduate study. Lab rotations are essential for identifying the appropriate thesis mentor and lab. In addition, lab rotations expose students to a wide variety of research emphasis areas and experimental techniques, and enable students to develop a network of research contacts.
