Research for UF Undergraduates

The University of Florida College of Dentistry (UFCD) has several UF undergraduates engaged in cutting-edge research. Students interested in these opportunities should review the following: College of Dentistry Faculty Research Interests to identify the labs of interest, and to contact the faculty member directly, for opportunities available.

Please note: there are more students than mentors at UFCD. Many of the labs may be full. Look for research opportunities well in advance, at least a full semester or two ahead of the expected time. Students are also encouraged to include their major, long term interests and any relevant research experience when contacting faculty. There are many excellent opportunities for research at UF.  A good research experience helps with admissions, even if it is not done at UFCD.
