We are currently seeking a graduate student to join the lab. You must be enrolled in The MD Anderson UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS). To learn about the opportunities for a tutorial rotation as well as current projects, please contact us directly by email or visit the lab.

There are multiple opportunities for undergraduate students to gain research experience. If you are a student from one of the local universities please contact us directly by email. These arrangements are highly individualized and can be as short as a summer and as long as several years.

The Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics offers a Summer Undergraduate Research Program (Micro-SURP). Students spend 10 weeks working in laboratories of faculty mentors where they work side by side with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The program also includes multiple enrichment activities such as lunchtime seminars, research discussions, and field trips to research facilities within Texas Medical Center. Students receive a $4,500 stipend.
