Undergraduate Research in the Biomedical Areas at Fairfield University

Abstract 

Fairfield University, known as the modern Jesuit University, was founded in 1942 and is located in Fairfield, Connecticut - about 30 miles away from the Burke Neurological Institute. It boasts outstanding programs in engineering (biomedical, electrical, mechanical, and computer science), science (neuroscience, biochemistry, chemistry and biology), as well as a nationally ranked school of nursing. Many of the students in these programs are sought after by R&D labs, national labs, industries and federal agencies for internships. This talk will provide detail on some of these programs and will survey an array of research projects related to the medical sciences that engaged undergraduate students at Fairfield University.
