Catalog description

Students must select a topic for their thesis. The topic selected must be relevant to Biochemistry or Molecular Biology and approved by the Director of the BMB graduate program. After approval the student must generate a proposal. If the project is not approved the student will be advised on how to modify the proposal or instructed to design a new proposal. Students will start their research once approved. They are expected to spend a minimum of 20 hours per week performing their research. They MUST have an acceptable laboratory notebook that conforms to NIH standards (numbered pages, permanently bound, pages MUST NOT be removed). They will consult frequently with their mentor who will review progress to ensure satisfactory completion of the program.
