Laboratory research introduces students to biomedical research as it is carried out in one of the school's basic science laboratories. Students work on a project under the guidance of a faculty advisor and their research team. The student is expected to spend 8 to 10 hours per week in the lab for the semester. The student prepares a short report presenting their topic, summarizing their work, and recording their results. Eligibility: Matriculated students in the MBS program who have completed 9 or more course credits and are in good academic standing are eligible to register for Laboratory Research. A student may continue their research project with the same faculty advisor for a second semester. The first semester is graded on the standard scale and the second semester is satisfactory/unsatisfactory only.
