CBE Undergraduate Research

Many CBE undergraduate students gain valuable research experience working with CBE faculty in their laboratories or research groups. You may contact faculty members directly to inquire if positions are available in their groups or if they would be willing to direct independent study or research. Most faculty require undergraduate students to have completed at least a year of foundational coursework to be considered for these opportunities. Students can also take advantage of many external opportunities to gain research experience, such as those listed below.
