"The objective is to encourage students to pursue scientific research by exposing them to and equipping them for laboratory and professional success.  There has been a plethora of learning experiences and opportunities provided by MBRS."

“The goal of this MBRS Program is to open our minds to research and the possibility of discovering new things through research. I have been in this program for four years now and have really become attached to research.  I work hard in the lab and put forth a great deal of effort into my projects.  I have done things and been places I would never have dreamt of because of this program.  I have gained a new outlook on science.”

Danyeal Heckard, Senior, Biology; Working in the MBRS at TWU Neuroscience Research Lab of Dr. Lynda Uphouse

“The objective of the MBRS Program is to increase the interest, skills and competitiveness of students in pursuit of biomedical research careers.  I feel my current research experience (with the MBRS Program) has provided me with a deeper sense of understanding of the field of biology that I could ever obtain in a classroom. The MBRS Program helped me gain skills and techniques for conducting independent research and broadened my expertise and perspectives in the field of biomedical research.”

"Yes, (I benefit from the program).  I always knew I wanted to attend graduate school, but I had not idea how to get there or how many opportunities are out there for me.  MBRS has given me insight into the process."

"I am getting experience in research which is the basis of all knowledge. By understanding how research is done, I have a better understanding of how results can be used."
