Student Research

MBP students undergo rigorous research training (6 months full-time) in a research preceptor’s laboratory. Students may select projects in life sciences, biological engineering, biotechnology, biomedical engineering, biomaterials sciences, and clinical research.

Discover what research areas our current students are working in. You can also learn more about ongoing NU research by checking out our list of advisors.
