Whether you are pursuing a health profession, research, or anything else, Pitt is a great place to get introduced to research! There are many opportunities to do research on or near campus but most students struggle to find a project that they are genuinely passionate about. Although we are a club based on the biological sciences, we are here to help with finding research in any discipline! Please browse the links below to see what the different departments on and around campus have to offer!
