Some Dominican University biology students participated in intensive research projects this summer, thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Glenn W. Bailey Foundation. The research projects will contribute to the fields of molecular biology and biochemistry, and have implications for the scientific study of immunology and genetics. The funding supported four students this summer, and an additional 11 students who worked on the initial stages of the research. Biology professors Dr. Elena Guevara and Dr. Richard Flamio head up the STEM Scholars Program, which makes the students competitive for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals and may assist them in admission to graduate school.
