The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology SURF program is funded in part
by the American Society of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET).
The goal of this national research program is to give undergraduate students
who might be interested in graduate school and a career in biomedical research
the opportunity to experience what it is like to work in a research lab and
perform biomedical research in pharmacology or toxicology. Students spend 10
weeks working in the lab and earn $3,000. If you have any questions, contact
Dr. Mayeux.
