The Biophysics Great Lab is a consortium of investigators focused on biophysics research. Students who work in the lab are first trained in laboratory and instrumentation techniques. Then they work with their mentor to design and carry out their own research project. Generally, it takes one to three years to be trained, identify your project, collect data that results in a novel story worthy of publication, draft and redraft a manuscript, submit the manuscript, receive reviews from outside reviewers selected by the journal, respond to the reviews, and resubmit the paper for publication.
