## Undergraduate Research

We are always looking for enthusiastic students to participate in ongoing research!

## **Graduate Research**

Admission to the OEB Graduate Program is always very competitive. When considering applications, the committee looks at research experience, letters of recommendation, grades, and GREs. Students should be in touch with the lab well in advance of the December application deadline, with details of research interests and a CV. Prospective students are also encouraged to contact current and former students in the lab.
