Undergraduate Research

Welcome to the undergraduate research web page for the Department of Molecular Biosciences at the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息. We are committed to training future generations of researchers in medicine, the biological sciences, toxicology, microbiology, pharmaceutical sciences, amongst others.

 

Note: The student featured in this video went on to complete her BS Microbiology from USF, then obtained a PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology from USF. She performed post-doctoral research at the University of Texas-Austin, and is now a faculty member with her . 

Applicants should read the information on this page carefully.

The MBS department concentrates its research in four specialized research focus areas:

1) Bacterial Pathogenesis
2) Genome Integrity
3) Molecular Biophysics & Systems Biology
4) Biomedical Sciences 
 
Our faculty each undertake their specific research programs within these above described areas, sometimes with ground-breaking overlap between areas.

Please note that this is a very limited program and we can not accommodate all applicants. Because we receive such a large interest in this program it is important that you read all instructions carefully, and are diligent in completing all the required steps, in the correct order, and you are patient with this process. Apply at least 1 semester in advance of your proposed semester start date; allow the department and your academic advisors in BioAdvise sufficient time to respond to your queries.
