Former Kuriyan lab undergraduates

Undergraduate students who are interested in carrying out research in areas such as biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, enzymology, computational modeling of protein structure, protein-drug interactions and related topics are invited to apply in the spring for research positions in the summer, or during the summer and fall for fall and spring semester opportunities, respectively.

• Berkeley students should apply to the Kuriyan lab’s open projects advertised on the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program (URAP) website.

• Undergraduate students from other institutions seeking summer or other apprenticeship opportunities should apply directly to Professor Kuriyan. Please attach a copy of your most recent transcript and your resume.

• Our research lab also participates in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Exceptional Research Opportunities Program (EXROP).
