Medical Students

If you are a medical student at Pitt, the Dean’s Summer Research Project and the Longitudinal Research Project provide excellent opportunities to learn more about research with the De Genna lab.

Graduate Students

There is currently no GRE or other graduate student funding available, but there are data for graduate student projects if you are looking for a project.  In the Pitt School of Public Health, Dr. De Genna may be available to serve as a mentor or reader for Master’s and MPH essays or as a committee member for the PhD dissertation committee. Email Dr. De Genna and your Pitt Public Health advisor (Dr. Nancy Glynn for Master’s programs) if you are interested in her expertise for your graduate student research project.

Undergraduate Students

Motivated undergraduate students may serve as volunteers in the De Genna lab if they can commit 2-10 hours/week and maintain an excellent GPA. In addition to time, volunteer candidates need to have strong attention to detail and ability to work independently after a training period. You might have the opportunity to learn about pregnancy and infant health, infant assessments, and qualitative research. Advanced undergraduate students with some statistical analysis skills may have the opportunity to conduct a small independent research project for a class. Serious candidates may email Dr. De Genna with their resume/CV.
