Graduate Research in the Walker Laboratory
Policies of Dr. Walker

Graduate students interested in working in my research lab should read the following items and then set up an appointment with me.

Masters Students: M.S. students in my lab carry out proteomics on cellular differentiation and cell division/ growth questions.

Current Students:
Megan O'Brien


Ph.D. Students: Ph.D. students work in my lab through a consortial Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. Program at Kent State University

Current Students:
