UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH
Choose the experience that’s right for you.
Chemistry of Life Processes Institute offers three laboratory-based undergraduate research programs that prepare students to work at the interface of medicine, biology, chemistry, computation, engineering and physics and lay the groundwork for future success. 83% of our undergraduate students have pursued PhDs at top graduate schools, enrolled in Medical Scientist Training programs, or attended medical school. In addition, CLP undergrads have co-authored more than 45 papers based on their work. They also are invited to present the outcomes of their research at CLP’s annual Summer Research Symposium.
