The research focuses on investigating the signaling mechanisms underlying the development of obesity and breast cancer. This project offers ample opportunities for undergraduate student involvement. Depending on their experience, students may assist with lab maintenance, support experimental procedures, and receive guidance in applying for the ICRU fellowship. With substantial contributions, students may also have the opportunity to co-author manuscripts.

We study children’s social-emotional development from infancy to adolescence. Students in this lab have the opportunity to work on a longitudinal study to help collect data during laboratory sessions, code behavioral data from videos, and perform preliminary data management.

The Glykys Lab focuses on understanding how the brain’s inhibitory system operates at the cellular level and the mechanisms underlying neuronal swelling in pathological conditions. We seek a highly motivated individual interested in neurosciences to analyze neuronal calcium and size changes during pathological insults, including neurotoxic injury, using ImageJ, MATLAB, and other software and algorithms. This is an analysis position where the fluorescent images will be provided. Training will be provided. The candidate will work closely with a graduate student under the supervision of Dr. Glykys. Depending on performance, further lab activity projects are available.

The Byrne Lab is seeking a motivated undergraduate student in Mechanical Engineering to support the development of new technologies aimed at improving the standard of care for cancer patients. This position offers hands‑on experience at the intersection of engineering and medicine, contributing to projects that directly support patient‑centered innovation.

Opportunity to work with Music Education Professor on music-making in prison contexts. Responsibilities will vary based on student interests and schedule but may include, collaborating on original music with an incarcerated songwriter, creating music videos for original songs collaborating with various artists, build social media campaigns and more.

We are currently seeking undergraduate students to join our research team. The students will be responsible for zebrafish care and fish genotyping and will also receive relevant training to conduct experiments. Students will have opportunities to be involved in specific projects and contribute to publications.

The Hwang lab conducts research to understand the neural mechanisms of executive functions. Specifically, we are interested in discovering the neural architecture, processes, and dynamic systems that allow brain networks to select, inhibit, transfer, and integrate information. Together, these mechanisms support many important mental functions, such as attention, working memory, response selection and inhibition. We address our research questions with a comprehensive human neuroscience approach, combining multimodal research methodologies, including fMRI, EEG, TMS, eye tracking and behavioral testing.

We seek highly motivated students interested in developing interdisciplinary laboratory skills, including basic microbiology practices, air and aerosol sampling techniques, and analytical methods. The overall goal of our lab is to understand the interactions between different environmental factors and respiratory pathogens, and to develop engineering controls that mitigate disease transmission.

Interdisciplinary research group explores how the contexts we live and learn in affect social, emotional, and behavioral health outcomes across the life course. Particularly interested in the family system and the role of intergenerational relationships in promoting adaptive developmental outcomes and well-being.

Current Projects: Role of glial cells in feeding and glucose metabolism, role of hunger in reward seeking behavior, and effect of sleep deprivation on energy metabolism. Research: Perform research activities based upon protocols developed by other research staff or principal investigator of the research project. Read and review articles as directed. As individual skills develop, analyze literature to develop hypotheses for discussion with other researchers or principal investigator.

The Brain Lesion and Neuromodulation Laboratory (BLNL) investigates neural mechanisms of cognition and behavior. We do so primarily using lesion-deficit mapping, and brain stimulation (i.e., "neuromodulation"). Current topics of interest in the BLNL include: linking cognitive and personality changes to brain network damage in patients with focal brain lesions (e.g., in patients who have had a stroke), and using direct electrical stimulation of the brain in neurosurgical patients to alter brain network connectivity and cognition. We are also broadly interest in topics that span clinical neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience.

We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated undergraduate students who are interested in immunology and want to investigate intestinal mucosa in two disease models, namely graft-versus-host disease and inflammatory bowel disease.
