Undergraduate Research Opportunities

The current projects in the lab center on answering basic questions about cell function. We use molecular, genetic, biochemical, computational, and cell biological methods and approaches. The plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is our study organism because the available genetic and molecular tools allow us to do experiments that cannot be done in animal model systems. Although our lab conducts mostly basic research, we are aware of the impact of our research on problems in human health. We have a variety of undergraduate projects that provide ample hands-on experiences in modern molecular genetics and cell biology. To request an application, contact Paris Grey.
