CHRONOTYPE-DEPENDENT CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSES TO AEROBIC EXERCISE
Research assistant position will involve data collection in The Exercise Physiology Laboratory located in Wade Hall. Study measures will include heart rate, blood pressure, baroreflex sensitivity, vascular imaging (ultrasound), blood lipids, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and circadian rhythm monitoring. Research assistant will also be responsible for helping with the preparation and cleaning protocols before, during, and after each study visit. Research assistants in any major will be considered, however those interested in pursuing a career or post-graduate studies in a health-related field will likely get the most out of this experience. Prior laboratory experience is desirable but not required. Students will be encouraged to deve...

Hayley MacDonaldMetabolic Engineering and Synthetic Biology
The Summers research lab is always looking for motivated undergraduate students who are interested in performing research at the interface of engineering, microbiology, and biochemistry. Students will work on one of several projects related to genetic engineering of bacteria and yeast, including: (1) Elucidation of how bacteria recognize and respond to caffeine in their environment (2) Development of tools to engineer bacteria and yeast (3) Engineering bacteria to create high-value chemicals (4) Engineering yeast cells to produce high-value chemicals Students should expect to spend 6-10 hours per week in the lab. A commitment of at least one academic year is requested, but ideally students will continue to perform research in the l...
