Dr. Guiton and Dr. Pakpour are trying to organize a Biology club on campus and need YOUR help to do it! You'd be a part of creating a network for fellow student scientists to connect with industry and graduate/professional programs AND this would be a great opportunity to add to your resumes. If interested, contact Dr. Pakpour for more details at Pakpourlab.com.
Several new website features are coming your way to keep us all connected as the Guiton Lab continues to grow!
First, current members and a lab fun gallery of the Guiton Lab can now be proudly viewed under the "Who We Are" page.
Second, there is now a laboratory resource page for Current Laboratory Members to access for materials such as protocols, contact informations, meetings, etc. Details will be posted on Slack.
