Many with in the CMU community are not aware of the scientific research that is occurring in their own town and the impact it could have on the world. A cure for hydrocephalus, a vaccine for cancer, specified mitochondria research and much more are all being studied here on CMU’s campus. A short walk across campus can reveal potentially life-changing research right in our own back yard. The coolest part? CMU undergraduates are getting the chance to be a part of it.
Niki Devito, a Central Michigan University Student in her third year of a Biology undergraduate degree, talks about her experience working in a Research lab in the CMU campus. At 20 years old, Devito works on finding a cure to hydrocephalus in Dr. Janet Miller research lab in the Health Professions building. As a biology major, her schedule has almost no down time between studying, class, labs and her involvement in the Miller lab. After a summer of volunteering in the lab, she now has a paying job doing research in the lab.
