Prospective Students
Graduate Research
I am seeking a curious student interested in biomineralization, evolution development, and/or molluscs to join my team. As a member of our lab, you will have the freedom to tailor your project to your interests, ideally relating to the genetics, development, or role of the nervous system in shell formation in gastropods. Depending on your project and research goals, you will have the opportunity to learn microinjection, CRISPR, hybridization chain reaction in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, animal husbandry, electron microscopy, and more.
Please reach out to me directly with any questions: Nicole.Webster@usask.ca
