Students taking our CSB497/CSB498/CSB499 courses earned valuable experience in CSB research labs, gaining skills and knowledge in specific fields including developmental biology, plant biology, and stem cell biology. Our professors welcome the curiosity and questioning that these undergraduates bring to their lab.
Six of these fourth year scientists gave exceptional presentations on the research they performed, and were presented with the F Michael Barrett Award for 2022. Congratulations!
The students, their research supervisor and their topic of research are as follows:
