The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smb.wsu.edu\/smb-homepage\">School of Molecular Biosciences<\/a> offers exciting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smb.wsu.edu\/research\">research opportunities<\/a>\u00a0in a wide range of paths in the life sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium wsu-spacing-after--xsmall\">Areas of study in Molecular Biosciences include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wsu-font-size--medium\"><li>Biochemistry<\/li><li>Genetics and Cell Biology<\/li><li>Microbiology<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wsu-font-size--large wp-block-heading\">Conduct Research in Your Area of Interest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium\">Research Scholars majoring in molecular biosciences tackle some of biology\u2019s greatest challenges, such as understanding photosynthesis, how plants resist diseases and pests (and how our understanding of plant mechanisms can inform human health sciences), and how genetics and epigenetics interact in a changing environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wsu-font-size--large wp-block-heading\">Start in Your First Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium\">You\u2019ll begin your research career in your first year of college, giving you a leg up on those who wait until their junior year (the typical point at which many undergraduates start research).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium\">You\u2019ll be working on real-world problems, and be mentored by professors and graduate students who are as passionate as you are about the power of science to change the world for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium\">And by the time you graduate, you\u2019ll have an impressive resume. Graduate schools and employers will both be impressed by your early and steadfast commitment to research, and the hands-on experience you\u2019ve earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<aside class=\"wsu-callout  wsu-border--color-crimson\" >\r\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"wsu-font-size--xxmedium wp-block-heading\">Ready to Join WSU&#8217;s Research Scholars?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium wsu-spacing-after--xmedium\">Some students will be invited to become an undergraduate Research Scholar; others can complete <a href=\"http:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/how-to-apply\/\">the application form<\/a> to be considered for the program.<\/p>\n\n<\/aside>\r\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wsu-font-size--large wp-block-heading\">Gain a Lifelong Advantage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium\">The&nbsp;deeper benefit of the Research Scholars&nbsp;experience comes in a lifelong ability to ask relevant questions and to be persistent&nbsp;in the search for answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium\">Research, in all its forms, is about exploration and ways of knowing the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--medium\">So, whether you\u2019re exploring reproductive biology, cancer and its treatments, or fermentation science, you\u2019ll tackle sophisticated questions\u2014and discover important ways to respond that will serve you no matter where you go from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":123,"parent":4,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/67"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":345,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions\/345"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=11"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/admission.wsu.edu\/research-scholars\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
