The Translational GlycoMaterials and Neural Repair Lab offers undergraduate research opportunities for students who are motivated to learn more about regenerative medicine approaches to treat brain injuries and cancers. Our students get hands-on training in wet lab techniques and animal surgeries. We encourage UGA undergraduate research participation through the University of Georgia's Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO) program. We also recruit visiting undergraduate student researchers through the UGA PREP, UGA NSURE, and NanoBio REU programs.
The Regenerative Bioscience Center (RBC) at the University of Georgia is a leading research institute in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies. The RBC promotes cross-discipline and multi-institutional research within the Georgia Research Alliance with the Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State, the Medical College of Georgia, and Emory University. The center increases knowledge, facility, and technology resources to gain external funding. In addition to research, the RBC provides education to national and international researchers, graduate and undergraduate classes taught by the faculty, and a Young Scholar program for high school students interested in biomedical science careers.
The Birthplace of Public Higher Education in America
As the birthplace of public higher education in America, the University of Georgia is inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs, researchers, and informed citizens who will change the world. For over 235 years, UGA has been engaged in a mission of leadership and service to our state. A land-grant and sea-grant university, the University of Georgia is the state's oldest and most comprehensive institution of higher education. Its motto, “to teach, to serve, and to inquire into the nature of things,” reflects the University’s integral role in the state and nation’s intellectual, cultural, and environmental heritage.
