• Students selected for the program will participate in research-focused phage genomics courses in which the genomes of novel bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), isolated from local soil samples, are characterized by sequencing, gene annotation methods, and molecular genetic analyses. Students will learn a variety of techniques that span several disciplines, including microbiology, molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics. This phage project is an outgrowth of research interests of Professor Graham Hatfull (University of Pittsburgh) who studies the molecular genetics of mycobacteria and the viruses that infect them.

• Quick Response Service fully licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Basic Life Support services are provided 24/7 when classes are in session. All EMS crews are staffed by volunteer students, faculty, and staff.

The Rapidly Accelerated Research Experience (RARE) program at Lehigh University is a STEM immersion initiative designed to enhance research skills and retention among students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
