In the past five years (2002 to September 2007), 59 undergraduates have performed significant research that has led to co-authorship on publications from the various laboratories within the Biological Sciences Department. Several of these students are co-authors on more than one paper. Many undergraduates also have served as co-authors on posters presented at national and international meetings. Some examples of the publications of which our undergraduates are co-authors and contributors to are given below, with the undergraduate students' names in bold.
