We are a microbiology research group consisting of Dr. Terence Crofts (PI), Ezabelle Franck (lab manager), Hayden Allman (technician), and Elizabeth Bernate
and Sophia Vizoso (undergraduate researchers). Motivated UROP students will receive training to conduct supervised research into new antibiotic resistance genes with the goal of generating preliminary data that may expand into future projects. Committed students who work well as part of a team on a shared project are particularly encouraged to apply.

overall_research_project_description: 'UROP students will be helping with projects studying the genes and mechanisms underlying bacterial resistance to antibiotics or other antimicrobials. This will involve identifying and cloning target genes, expressing them in E. coli, and measuring changes in E. coli antimicrobial susceptibility as a result. UROP researchers will work with a more senior undergraduate student to learn techniques and to help move projects forward.'
