A Great Research Opportunity for High Schoolers

Join us for a week of scientific research in the lab. Bacteriophages are tiny phage viruses that attack bacteria, and are useful in human medicine. A huge, invisible world of phage viruses are yet to be discovered. We explore our campus in search of these novel phages. We purify, visualize and characterize new phages as part of an ongoing research project.

Join us daily from 9 a.m.–3 p.m., Monday, July 22 through Friday, July 26, at our campus in Webster Groves, Missouri, for an authentic research experience.
