Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Whether your post-graduation plans involve medical school, a career in industry, or graduate studies, developing hands-on experience in a laboratory setting is highly valuable. We encourage students to participate in the ground-breaking research happening at UT. There are multiple ways to gain research experience, either directly or through our innovative programs.
Programs
- The College of Natural Sciences’ pioneering Freshman Research Initiative (FRI) gives first-year students the opportunity to initiate and engage in real-world research experience with faculty and graduate students. Many of the research streams have direct relevance to biologics.
- Experiential Learning Resources in the College of Natural Sciences
- Student Research Opportunities in the Department of Biomedical Engineering
Working in a Faculty Research Lab
- Undergraduate Research Resources in the College of Natural Sciences
- Undergraduate Research in the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering
- Many faculty welcome motivated undergraduate students to contribute to their research. Regardless of your college, school, or department affiliation, these basic steps provided by Chemical Engineering are a good reference when reaching out to faculty.
