Students

Students are the future of research. At BU, you have ample opportunity to explore your interests with the support of our talented faculty. Right now we’re investigating fuel cells that run on bacteria, developing a vaccine that fights cancer with cancer cells, and diving into many other areas. What’s next? That’s up to you.
