Undergraduate Research Techniques Facility

 

               

   Welcome to our home page. The Undergraduate Research Techniques Facility (RTF) is a small practice lab and learning center in the Department of Biological Sciences at Hunter College. It is designed to provide practical experience and background information to students prior to their entry into an experimental research project in a faculty laboratory. The major objective of this website is to make RTF instructional materials and information readily available to Hunter College Biology Majors and faculty members, and to other institutions that may wish to try this approach.
