The following projects were under the general supervision of the Biology program at LCSC. These projects vary from those which faculty directly supervised, to those which students obtained on their own. We strongly encourage students to seek professional opportunities through cooperative projects, LCSC supervised research, volunteer programs and temporary positions with government agencies and private industries.
