Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Mandal group research is at the intersection of chemistry, physics and biology to develop optical-tweezers and single-molecule manipulation tools to understand how RNAs fold into intricate structures in response to small molecule metabolites, ions and proteins, how do these RNA domains bring together the components to form large functional complex. Research in this field deepens our understanding of mechanisms of RNA dependent gene regulation in cells and is poised to yield dramatic advances in medicine and technology.
We invite dedicated undergraduates to join us in our research endeavors. A background that includes physical chemistry or experimental physics and some familiarity with biology is ideal, but all applicants will be considered. Undergraduate participants may be eligible for an hourly salary and/or academic credit.
