Research with Dr. Clark is primarily focused on the study of biologically relevant organic molecules through a wide variety of modern methods. Researchers in the lab gain valuable experiences with scientific project development, experimental design and implementation, data interpretation and analysis, and presentation of interesting research results. Students can also earn credit towards their degree by registering for Undergraduate Research Experience. Any motivated biology, chemistry, environmental science, pre-medical, or science education student is invited to stop by Room 230 to discuss available options working on any of these projects or on projects that we develop together.
