Before I participated in undergraduate research, it was difficult for me to fathom it being anything more than just conducting experiments, analyzing data, and gaining technical skills. Yes, these things are important, but you can get so much more out of being an undergraduate researcher. I have learned how to form professional relationships and work in a research team, but most importantly I have gained confidence in myself. My research experience at UNH began the summer after my sophomore year with a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), funded by the generous donors of the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research. I am majoring in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and my SURF research, mentored by Dr. Sarah Walker, was on drug repurposing for triple negative breast cancer.
