The Harris Laboratory is always keen to recruit exceptional PhD students. Rotation opportunities are ongoing, with one each summer and three others throughout the academic year.

Most of these programs also require an application to the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Successful applicants to other doctoral or combined programs will also be considered.
Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate trainees learn lab skills from the ground-up, starting with basic lab work such as media preparation, glass sterilization, and reagent stocking and progressing to learning complex procedures ranging from molecular cloning and cell culture to enzyme activity assays, cellular imaging, and bioinformatics. Undergraduate research assistants are paid hourly and have multiple opportunities for scholarship research (UROP, honor’s thesis) and/or full-time summer research. Interested students are encouraged to contact Dr. Harris’s Program Manager, Dr Dean Bacich by email ( bacich@uthscsa.edu ).
