"Undergraduate assistants have been a key asset in my efforts to assemble a team of highly intelligent, creative, and productive researchers. Undergraduate students have been deeply involved in several of the lab’s ongoing projects, including some that we hope to publish in the near future. As a result, I have found that training good undergraduate assistants is a win-win situation: They have the opportunity to work in a cutting edge biotechnology laboratory and develop a set of research skills that will jump-start their future career plans, while I gain a highly motivated assistant who contributes to, and in some cases independently drives, our short term and long term research goals."
