BIOL 497 Senior Research Project I
Over the course of two semesters, students work closely in small teams with a faculty member to address
a significant and complex question at the boundary of knowledge in Cell and Molecular Biology. The team combines and applies a broad range of theoretical and practical research techniques to the question and exercises advanced critical thinking and evaluation. The team is guided through the whole research process � from hypothesis generation to data acquisition, analysis and conclusion � and is encouraged to produce professional-standard reports and presentations.
