Student Opportunities

Connect with cutting-edge research under the microscope or out in the field

 

Research Opportunities
Students are required to complete an independent research project under the supervision of a faculty member (either math or biology)  and present their research in the Biomathematics Seminar.

Center for the Sciences and Innovation (CSI)
Trinity’s integrated, 300,000-square-foot science and engineering complex contains glass-walled laboratories, classrooms, and offices that put science on display. CSI supports teaching and research in biomathematics in addition to multiple fields of biology, chemistry, and mathematics, among others.

Undergraduates also have the opportunity to learn and perform a variety of modern research techniques such as chromatography, electrophoresis, phase contrast and fluorescent microscopy, tissue culture, electrophysiology, confocal microscopy, and ultracentrifugation.
