We have excellent training programs at the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine to prepare prospective students for biological research. Within our department and college we have several labs that specialize in biophysical, biochemical and computational techniques, as well as elective coursework in these areas. To learn more about our Integrated Program in Biomedical Sciences and rotations with such labs, please follow this link.

We are targeting Ph.D. recipients that have been trained in the computational sciences. Please contact PKH and our advertisement for more details!

We are actively seeking graduate students and students wishing to do rotations in our lab. Graduate students can expect to learn a variety of computational approaches for probing biological systems, especially processes involving molecular signaling and cell behavior. We have developing opportunities in our wet lab, including protein biochemistry and cellular imaging; further, we offer opportunities to work in tandem with other wet-lab focused teams in the Health Sciences Division. Please contact PKH for more details!

Undergraduate students in our lab have been extraordinarily successful - please contact PKH to learn how you could contribute to our research!.

The biggest requirement is an interest in working with computers. Beyond that, we have had good outcomes teaching students that have had little or no computer experience (linux operating systems, programming, high performance computing) before joining the lab. Our lab has always been great about working with new recruits to get them up to speed and we have tutorials to help as well. Working hours are flexible, especially for undergraduates. A minimum of a few hours per week is best (contiguous hours if possible). In terms of transportation, of course the preference would be for students to join us on the Maywood campus via public transit (we have a shuttle the runs regularly between the blue line forest park station and campus). This might not be possible on all days, so one advantage of the computational work is the ability to work remotely.
