Faculty & Research
Come learn by doing. Get your hands dirty in a lab as you assist a professor looking to cure a particular type of cancer. Edit a study destined for publication in a psychology journal. At USF, what you learn matters — but so does how you learn. Our faculty of world-renowned researchers and scholars has you working on and solving real-world problems as they guide you every step of the way.

Conduct Research with Faculty
As an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Sikes's lab, I worked to help him visualize several genes involved in the Hedgehog signaling cascade. I worked independently to amplify DNA. Overall, Dr. Sikes has helped me to better understand lab techniques and their purpose."
