Outcomes


If you are interested in applying to our REU Site and are curious about where our REU student participants go and what they do after participating in our REU Site, visit our "Previous Students" page.

Student participants work together in a two-week techniques course to learn a common set of tools and techniques in proteomics and functional genomics. The lab manual describing the activities students participate in can be found here.

The research several student participants have conducted has led to peer-reviewed publications and presentations at regional, national, and international meetings.
