mutant and normal products of these genes to understand the
role of these proteins in health and disease.
Student Participation: An undergraduate could be
involved in varios aspects of laboratory work depending on
background and experience.
Background Needed: Well rounded undergraduate with
at least a junior standing. Strong science background preferred.
Maturity is of highest importance.
