Faculty Research - Molecular Biology and Biological Chemistry

 

With more than 190 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 areas and experimental techniques, and enable students to develop a network of research contacts.

Highlights from some of our faculty can be found here:
 
Some of our faculty are featured in the Vitae event where they recognize research excellence across University of Utah Health
