PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

We are always interested in recruiting motivated prospective graduate students who would like to contribute to the research being conducted in our lab. However, we have found that contributing to the lab is an enormous commitment, both for the student and the lab. Therefore, to increase the likelihood that the experience will be beneficial to both the student and the lab, The Hope Laboratory has the following requirements:
