<p>Hey guys! I was recently looking into the biomedical research minor and wondering if any CCers could offer some advice or info about how the minor is...</p>
<p>What kind of lab do they place you in? How does it all work? Do you guys think its rewarding? just any info u have about it thanks!</p>
<p>you just take a few seminars and other classes. they don’t place you in a lab?</p>
<p>I think the class LS 10H helps get you started by providing laboratory experience, and then you can use that to apply to other labs.</p>
<p>Edit: LS 10H works with drosophila and different knockout experiments. which is tangentially related to biomedical research.</p>
<p>I was considering doing it. I know many friends who are in it (I’m pretty popular). If you are interested in it at all, I advise you sign up for the class Biomedical Research 5HA. Romero/Banerjee teach it every quarter I think, and I took it with them. Although Banerjee came to the class only once the whole quarter… It is one of the easiest A’s I ever got at UCLA and i think everyone got an A. The stuff you learn is pretty interesting as well. They also have one day of class devoted to telling you EVERYTHING about the minor. I actually missed that day due to a midterm time conflict lol.</p>
<p>My friend who graduated with the minor seemed to really like it. You are supposed to give a final presentation I think, but I don’t know much about how everything works. I think you actually have to apply to be in it and 5HA might be a prereq for the minor, so you might as well take it.</p>
