Program Overview

Senior Research Project I

Description

The Senior Research Project I is a two-semester course where students work in small teams with a faculty member to address a significant and complex question at the boundary of knowledge in Cell and Molecular Biology. The team combines and applies a broad range of theoretical and practical research techniques to the question and exercises advanced critical thinking and evaluation. The team is guided through the whole research process from hypothesis generation to data acquisition, analysis and conclusion and is encouraged to produce professional-standard reports and presentations.
