Research
Corban students often engage in research with faculty, earning research credits, presenting at conferences such as the Murdock College Science Research Conference and Corban’s own Science Symposium, and even having their work published in peer-reviewed journals.
Research on Corban’s campus takes a variety of forms, from natural product synthesis to live animal research and human subject research.
To protect the safety and wellbeing of people and animals involved in research, and to maintain in compliance with the National Institutes of Health and the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, Corban has in place a thorough review process for all research conducted on campus or with Corban-affiliated people and animals.
