| Students pursuing Ph.D.
degrees and many students pursuing M.S. degrees do original research
under the direction of a research supervisor from among the faculty
in the department. The results of this research are published in peer-reviewed
journals. Often, students present their work at national or international
meetings of scientists working in their area. |
|
Research in laboratories
of UMBC's Biological Sciences Department covers a wide diversity
of topics in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Organismic Biology
and Community Biology.
|
|
| This diversity is a strength
since students are exposed to a rich diversity of interests and ways
of doing science. |
| Students who
intend to do research will complete three research rotations in department
laboratories after which they will chose a research mentor and begin
their research (usually at the end of their second semester in residence).
