The Brusko Lab views undergraduate research as mentored, self-directed work that enables individual students to explore an issue of interest to them, and communicate the results to others. The projects involve inquiry, design, investigation, research, scholarship, discovery, application, and presentation. There is an immediate connection to diabetes research and an increasing appreciation of the value of multidisciplinary approaches.
If you feel you can make a substantial commitment of your time and effort to participate in undergraduate research, please talk to your advisor, visit the WebGURU, and then complete the Volunteer Qualification Form.
If you like getting paid for doing the things you are passionate about, you should learn about the University Scholars Program at UF.
