As an interdisciplinary program, Public Health Genetics faculty come from many schools and departments. Although there is no formal undergraduate research program in IPHG, many faculty are open to undergraduate researchers. Being in the room at seminars (see list below) is a great way to get to know students and faculty who may be looking for undergraduate research assistants!
A great way to learn more about IPHG is to attend the PHG seminar. Topics vary and are announced ahead of time. If you'd like to receive information about the PHG seminar, you can add yourself to the email list here.
