Research in the Sciences
Whether you’re doing research in the natural sciences—those sciences that seek to explain the causes and laws of the natural world—or the formal sciences such as mathematics and logic, your methods will be empirical. In other words, your research and findings will be based on experience, experiment and observation. Emory’s affiliations with organizations such as the CDC, and its own numerous state-of-the-art laboratories and medical facilities make Emory the ideal place for scientific research. Some examples of science research our students are conducting are:
-
Pediatric Severe Asthma: Role of Environmental Tobacco Smoke
-
Defining the Relationship between Depression Treatment History, Cognitive Performance
and Resting State Functional Connectivity
-
Seasonal Influence of CSO Water Chemical and Environmental Parameters on Culex Vector Oviposition
-
Synthesis and Characterization of Gold (III) Bipyridine Complexes: An Analysis of DNA Binding
-
Host-Pathogen Specificity in the Fungus-Growing Ant Symbiosis of the Genus Cyphomyrmex

“My current research concerns HIV-1 C, and I work in the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. I am conducting tests to determine whether a highly variable region affects sensitivity to autologous neutralizing antibodies. My prior research was to define the role of the hippocampus and proximate cortical regions in the process of memory encoding.
“In the classroom setting professors instruct students by presenting a series of facts. My experience in research has made me realize that these now widely accepted facts were once laboriously researched and pondered before appearing in the classroom.”
