Biology 538 (3.0 unit), 539 (3.0 unit) and 540 (6.0 units [a full-year two-term]) offer individual students the opportunity to undertake a laboratory research  practicum under the supervision of a Biology faculty member. In addition to volunteer work in the host lab, students will attend BIOL537 seminars (Fall and/or Winter) and conduct research to present both as a major paper and seminar. BIOL 538 is a prerequisite to BIOL 539 - which is intended for students who wish to do a second follow-on 3.0 units research mentorship after completing BIOL 538. 
Students will normally be enrolled in the fourth year of their Program, having completed the third year core requirements of their Plan. Full details of all three courses
