Elizabeth E Hull, Ph.D.

My laboratory is focused on training a variety of students at many stages of their training in research. Productivity of the research program relies on students from the Master of Biomedical Sciences Programs, Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, and PGY1-3 trainees participating in Midwestern sponsored residency programs. To effectively mentor students and trainees, I have deliberately developed a collaborative culture in the laboratory which is both student-friendly and supportive. This includes crafting research projects which contribute to the overall goals of the laboratory that are technically feasible and can be accomplished in the short period of time the students have to spend devoted to research. The success of the research program can be seen in the fact that most students trained in the laboratory have presented their work at national meetings and are co-authors on published papers with many being first authors. After training in my laboratory, students have typically been successful in gaining admissions to professional school programs and matched at their chosen residency program. Several have indicated that their research experience in the lab was positive and that they intend to integrate research into their professional careers.
