Undergraduate Research

A unique aspect of our program is that all Biochemistry and Genetics majors will take 4 hours of research as a degree requirement.  The fourth hour must be the writing intensive hour.  Each student must find a lab in which to fulfill their research credit.  We maintain a list of labs where our students have worked in the past which can be shared upon request. Students are not limited to this list, but can use it as reference.

A student should begin working in a lab as early as possible.  Waiting until senior year can present some difficulty as students who began earlier are continuing in their designated lab and each lab can only accept a specific number of undergraduates.   Therefore, a student should begin contacting potential research supervisors a few months before the semester they anticipate beginning research for credit.  Once the research supervisor has agreed to allow them to work in their lab, then they must fill out the appropriate form and send it to: biobiougradadv@tamu.edu  Students should begin research credits no later than their first semester of U3 status.

The forms you will need for research credit:

  • 491 Research Form (Fillable)
  • 491W Research Form (Fillable)

Students can also participate in a summer research program in biochemistry.
