Undergraduate students can conduct research at the Faculty of Arts & Sciences departments, Harvard Professional Schools (HMS, HSPH, etc.), Harvard Research Centers and Institutes and as well as Harvard-affiliated hospitals. Note, that researchers from different research centers and Harvard departments can be working on the same topic. For example, neuroscience research can be conducted at the Harvard Medical School, Mass General Hospital and Brigham Women's Hospital. Contact Kate Penner to help identify research laboratories.
