Students enrolled in this program must agree to work in one lab for TWO successive semesters. Prospective faculty describe research in their own laboratory and potential undergraduate research topics. It is then up to the student to contact the faculty member and determine whether there are openings in their laboratory. Potential faculty advisors are listed below with their research descriptions. Interested students should contact individual faculty members to schedule interviews.
Projects typically begin in the fall semester but often begin in the summer.
Students can determine whether summer employment in the lab is an option. This would be determined by the faculty member. Credit cannot be earned for payed work. Contact Dr. Tombes with any questions. Research Howard Hughes Institute Undergrad Research New Advisors Info VCU Biology Dept.
