Native American Research Lab (NARL)
The mission of the Native American Research Laboratories (NARL) at The University of Montana is provide American Indian undergraduate students and graduate students with “hands-on” research opportunities in basic sciences and biomedical sciences in a culturally-relevant cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural environment. Although NARL is dedicated to increasing the number of indigenous students pursuing advanced degrees in the sciences, we also employ non-Native and international students in order to promote cross-cultural research collaboration and a diverse educational environment.
NARL-Biological Sciences offers students significant research experiences in fields such as microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, and more. NARL-Biomedical Sciences provides students with research experience in fields of science, such as pharmacology and neurosciences with direct biomedical applications. Students may also pursue interdisciplinary projects in topics related to environmental sciences, plant biochemistry, computer science, mathematical modeling of biological systems, and other disciplines.
