Team Size:
|
3 (Team Full) |
| Open Spots: | 0 |
|
Special Opportunities:
|
Team members will have the opportunity to learn fundamental lab and research skills and to present their reseach at the LAUNCH Undergraduate Research Scholars Symposium (October 2019)
|
|
Team Needs:
|
No prior research experience is required, but preference will be given to junior and senior students with previous research experience. Basic wet lab skills (using a pH meter, micropipette) are a huge plus, but training will be provided as needed. Attendance is at required weekly team meetings. Team members will initially be required to attend classroom training for work in a BSL-2 laboratory.
