CBS 01550 - Thesis Research

Credits: 1 to 9

This course provides individual laboratory research experience on a topic within the general field of biosciences. The research is performed under the supervision of a faculty instructor/graduate advisor and will thus vary based upon the training and expertise of the research team. Students are expected to (1) conduct basic and applied research in biosciences, (2) retrieve and review relevant research literature, (3) provide periodic updates and project reports, (4) write abstracts for presentations at conferences and meetings, and (5) manuscripts for publication in scientific journals. Overall, this research should build longitudinally towards production of an original M.S. or Ph.D. thesis/dissertation.
