Struggling to find research opportunities? Come to ISPE's Getting into Research Workshop to learn about the various ways through which you can get into a lab at UCLA.

Don't miss out on tips and advice on having a successful research career here at UCLA!

If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Vish Ramesh.
