Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program
Past Projects
SURF students have worked in the laboratories of a variety of noted Rockefeller University researchers, including Nobel Prize-winners.
Recent SURF projects include:
- Expression, Purification and Crystal screening of Novel Histone 3.3 chaperone DAXX
