Undergraduate Research
Each year, hundreds of Pitt students participate in undergraduate research projects by working alongside faculty in laboratories, libraries, and offices across campus.
Excellence in Research
Excellence in Research celebrates the University of Pittsburgh’s achievements in multidisciplinary research by highlighting 12 areas of endeavor in which the University is a current or emerging leader.
Understanding Neurotransmitter Transporters
Susan Amara, Pitt's Thomas Detre Professor of Neuroscience, studies the molecules that function as targets for addictive drugs and therapeutic antidepressants. Her work will enable us to better understand how neurotransmitter transporters regulate communication in the brain.
Adventures in Structural Biology
Angela Gronenborn can create an image of the inside of a protein molecule to explore its structure and dynamics. Her laboratory is achieving as complete a description as possible for molecular structures, principally through NMR spectroscopy.
