Prereq: Status as upperclass undergraduate, post bac, or graduate student.
The course provides students with 'hands-on' experience in research methods used to solve toxicological problems. Students will be under the direction of a GCT faculty member, who will supervise the student's efforts on a research project. The student will be trained not only in the 'hands-on' techniques but also in how to independently design and interpret research experiments. Students will prepare a final report on their research project, which will be designed to provide instruction and training in preparing 'publication-style' research reports. This course is distinct from 'topical seminar' or 'library survey' courses, since such courses are not 'hands-on' in experimental methods. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits. Laboratory, two-six hours per week.
