Students under the guidance of Dr. Jennifer Schroeder, associate professor of biology at Millikin University, have spent the past semester researching the potential benefits of different cancer treatments.
Many undergraduates at Millikin University have opportunities to engage in various research projects each academic year. Through research studies, Millikin students gain Performance Learning skills that are necessary for post-graduate work.
Inside the labs of the Leighty-Tabor Science Center, three Millikin students are working on breast cancer cell research this fall in collaboration with Dr. Jennifer Schroeder, Millikin associate professor of biology.
Millikin University is pleased to announce the six recipients of Institute for Science Entrepreneurship (ISE) Undergraduate Fellowships for the fall 2016 semester.
Natalie Mendez, a senior international business and marketing major at Millikin University, is currently an Institute for Science Entrepreneurship Undergraduate Fellow.
As part of her fellowship, Mendez is working with Dr. David Horn, Millikin professor of biology, to help coordinate the Institute's Science Entrepreneurship Speaker Series. She is also leading efforts to implement social media strategies to increase awareness of the Institute and promote its events.
The field of ecological immunology is seeing a growing interest in the causes of variation in immune responses in populations. One question that has sparked from this particular field is what does this difference in immune response mean for organisms?
