Research
Research addressing key questions and problems at the cutting-edge of biology and biotechnology is a fundamental element of the department’s mission. At the undergraduate level, students complete research-based Major Qualifying Projects, often working side-by-side with faculty members and graduate students on work that, not infrequently, earns them author credit on publications and participation in presentations at scientific conferences. At the graduate level, research is a requirement for our MS and PhD programs. Students conduct research under the direct guidance of faculty members. Life sciences research at WPI is marked by a spirit of collaboration and the free flow if ideas and information—between students and faculty, and across departments.
