Undergraduate Students:
Undergraduate students interested in research have different opportunities at experential learning.
- Volunteer or register for BCMB 200, a 1-hr course credit for a semester, to work on an ongoing project in the lab.
- Eligible Federal Wok-Study program students may apply for research experience through the program.
- After a trial period of a semester, if mutually agreed, students may stay on longer in the lab.
- Please enquire about funding opportunities for internships may be available through OUR and Dr. Krishnan’s grants.
Students (particularly Freshmen and Sophomores) interested in basic biological research or applying computational/coding skills to solve biological problems are encouraged to apply. Previous majors have included BCMB, neuroscience, and chemical & biomolecular engineering.
