A sampling of what you might do as an ITiMS student:

  • Develop mathematical models to identify holes in the literature, and design studies.
  • Conduct field investigations to collect samples.
  • Conduct laboratory experiments to interrogate samples or test hypotheses.
  • Use bioinformatics and statistical methods to analyze your results.

ITiMS also provides resources and opportunities for you to develop independent research projects; attend local, national and international meetings; and interact with leaders in microbial systems science.
