Project Opportunity: Investigating How Different Crispbreads Affect Fasting Blood Sugar in Rats
We seek a motivated bachelor’s student to join a hands-on research project!
In this project, you’ll measure fasting blood glucose in Sprague-Dawley rats fed different types of crispbread. Blood samples are already available, so you'll jump right into the lab work, where you will learn:
- Laboratory techniques for measuring blood glucose
- How to search and evaluate scientific literature
- Basics of statistical analysis for interpreting results
- Academic writing in a supportive and friendly research environment
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop essential research skills while working in a collaborative team. If you're interested in nutrition, health, or lab work, this project is for you!
