Research Labs
Our research labs provide key opportunities for students to work alongside faculty and staff to make an impact and contribute to the scientific community. This real world experience enhances knowledge and scholarship, plus builds resumes and work experience for emerging gerontologists.
VCU Gerontology students participate in our research labs and we welcome new students that are interested in working in the labs alongside faculty members.
