Reproductive Sciences Research I

2 units

Students will begin by rotating through three reproductive science research laboratories for two weeks each. Students will write a summary of the research performed in each laboratory and submit to the program their ranked preference for their thesis research. By week 8, they will be matched with a laboratory, where they will begin doing research. There will be one mandatory meeting with the assistant program director mid-semester to review research expectations and discuss appropriate and effective mentor-mentee relationships. Students are expected to spend their non-class time in the laboratory, amounting to approximately 15-20 hours per week. They should work with their lab-assigned mentor to schedule time appropriately.
