  • ​General Information: Funded by an NSF grant held by Dr. Michael Hedrick in the CSUEB Department of Biological Sciences. Students will work in the laboratory of Dr. Hedrick's colleague - Dr. Dane Crossley (https://biology.unt.edu/people/dane-crossley) - and will examine the effects of developmental hypoxia on long-term cardiovascular physiology in American alligators. Dr. Crossley's lab is very active with a large number of MS and PhD students working on a variety of projects and so students will have an opportunity to interact with undergraduate and graduate students from UNT. Dr. Hedrick had two students who participated in the program previously and both came away with a great experience. So, if you are interested, please contact Dr. Hedrick for a one on one interview.
