An additional 31 non-Biology majors participated in biology-focused research projects. They have been working hard in research labs across the Danforth and Medical School campuses.  Join us in celebrating the hard work they have done to advance knowledge through their research.  If you are a current or incoming student wondering how to get started, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn from presenters about their experiences and explore the different types of research available.

Research facilitates a way for you to ask and answer complex questions rather than accepting what&＃039;s already known. Sometimes you might not find the answer while you&＃039;re an undergraduate here, but even just beginning to engage in that process is something that&＃039;s valuable for anyone who&＃039;s interested in medicine, biology, or anything in between." ―Gaby Smith Undergraduate researcher and Symposium participant Quick LinksResourcesEventsEmploymentOur PeopleContactAdditional information Arts & Sciences Graduate Studies in A&SCopyright 2024 by:Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. LouisFollow Us Facebook Twitter Contact Us: Department of Biology [email protected] Visit the main Washington University in St. Louis website1 Brookings Drive / St. Louis, MO 63130 / wustl.edu
