Celebrating 20 Years of Molecular Biology: Preparing Students for Discovery

CEDARVILLE, OHIO - From developing new ways to deliver medication to aggressive brain tumors to identifying infectious diseases in clinical laboratories, undergraduate students are contributing to research that could shape the future of American health care. At Cedarville University in Ohio, molecular biology students are gaining experience at research institutions and health systems across the country, tackling complex medical challenges while preparing for careers in science and medicine.

Among research students are Elizabeth Calvis, a junior from Berea, Ohio, with a double major in molecular biology and chemistry, and Isabelle Gaug, a junior from Jasper, Indiana, majoring in molecular biology. Both have spent their summers applying their scientific training in two distinct research environments.
