Honours in Genetics

Welcome! For general information about the Honours year in Genetics click here. You may also wish to look at this year's Genetics Honours Handbook.

To find a research area that might interest you look at the table below. The "No. of Students" column tells you the maximum number of Honours students that a laboratory currently plans to host in 2009. Click on "projects" in the number column for specific information on Honours projects (where this is available). Click on laboratory leader names or photos to visit their lab websites and read more about their research. Don't hesitate to contact laboratory leaders about Honours projects, even when none are listed!
