We strongly encourage students to participate in science through faculty-mentored research projects and outside internships.
Faculty-Mentored Student Research
There are many opportunities for independent research experiences in the labs on the MMC campus. Some of the current research topics in the Department include computer modeling of protein function, ocean chemistry(opens in a new tab), and the connection between Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Students are encouraged to contact individual faculty(opens in a new tab) members to discuss research opportunities.
New York City Internships
Our students also intern at renowned NYC biomedical facilities, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Weill Cornell Medical Center, Columbia University, Hospital for Special Surgery, Museum of Natural History, and Rockefeller University.

Students can also build different skill sets through peer advising, tutoring, and assisting in the preparation and execution of laboratory courses.
