The Richter Scholars Program provides students with the opportunity to conduct independent, individual research with Lake Forest College faculty early in their academic careers. The ultimate goal is to foster a strong commitment to the intellectual life and to encourage participating students to consider careers in research and teaching. All participants have gained exceptional professional mentors among the faculty at this graduate health professions university. Each student works in a specific medical school professor's lab, carrying out original medical research in the areas of cell and molecular pharmacology, neuroscience, cell biology and anatomy, biochemistry and molecular biology, pathology, microbiology and immunology, physiology and biophysics, psychology, medicinal chemistry, and more. Students who want to apply for this program may contact the Program Director and the Professor of Biological Sciences. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
