Undergraduate students
For students interested in studying RNA biology, Leukemia, or Bioinformatics, there are often opportunities to join the lab by taking work for credit or for work-study. Preference is given to sophomores, who often can gain experience over the years. We will help you choose and carry out your research project. Please contact Sara if you are interested. No prior research is required!
