Graduate and Professional Students

General information about these programs are linked below, but prospective students should consult with Dr. Pesapane about which one is most appropriate before submitting an application. Please send an email with your interests and a current CV to begin the conversation with Dr. Pesapane.
- Comparative Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (MS, PhD)

Students currently pursuing a DVM may work with the PPE lab through the Veterinary Scholar Summer Research Program.
Undergraduate Students
The PPE lab may have opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in research activities. This can take many forms, but includes students looking to complete Honor’s thesis work, independent study credits, or internship credits. Prospective students should send an email describing their research interests or desired skills, their current degree program, and thoughts on their post-graduate plans.
