The Department of Biological Sciences at Marquette University is a strong advocate of undergraduate research as evidenced by the large number of undergraduate students that carry out independent projects in faculty research laboratories during the academic year, and the department’s history in administering summer research programs.
Our summer program was initiated in 1993 with a five-year grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. More recently the department has administered the NSF- REU program (2002-2004 and 2009-2011) as well as internally funded programs. The 2010 program will allow students to choose projects from a range of disciplines including: cell, molecular, and developmental biology; microbiology; neurobiology; and physiology.
