Epigenetics?

College Search & Lists
1

<p>Which colleges are actively researching epigenetics? And allow undergraduates to be actively involved in research?</p>

2

<p>Epigenetics is all about the way that genes express themselves, no? </p>

<p>If so, I am guessing that any major research university with a serious biology department will do. Note the heavy emphasis on the word “research”.</p>

<p>I’ve been trying google and come up with a few unis that have studies, but it’s difficult to tell who allows undergrads access to the research. My gut feeling is that the research is likely to be for grads. Maybe that’s the case. If so, so be it.</p>

<p>Epigenetics is a really specific area of research… is that the only topic in genetics/molecular biology that interests you?</p>

<p>If you’re interested in genetics in general, it should be possible to get involved in genetics labs at most research universities if you have the initiative to contact professors.</p>

<p>That would be way to specific to study. If you want undergraduate rankings for genetics, the following are from the Gourman report</p>

<p>Gourman Report Undergraduate Genetics Top 10</p>

<p>UC Davis
Cornell
MIT
U Wisconsin Madison
U Illinois UC
Ohio State
Purdue
U of Rochester
U Minnesota
Rutgers
U Georgia
U Kansas
Texas A&M</p>

<p>These are undergraduate rankings. Be careful, if you are looking for graduate rankings, then the list would be totally different.</p>

<p>Many thanks for the lists! I realize epigenetics is very specialized and a major will need to be more involved, but it is very intriguing… thus the question. I had U of Rochester, but needed more to go with it.</p>
