Please send CV, cover letter, and three letters of reference to Dr. Dorrestein at the address listed below.

Graduate students:

The Dorrestein lab is interdisciplinary and spans the fields of chemical biology, enzymology, organic chemistry, molecular pharmacology, biochemistry, bioanalytical chemistry, microbiology and related disciplines. Though we will have students from many different areas, they will all share one common goal: to do great science. If you are interested in the lab just stop by Dr. Dorrestein's office in the biomedical science building or contact him via e-mail or phone as listed below.

Undergraduates:

Dr. Dorrestein himself began his research as an undergraduate student. This research resulted in 4 peer-reviewed publications. He therefore finds it important to have undergraduates in his laboratory. Doing undergraduate research is also important to discover what science and research is all about. Due to the high response, the lab is not currently accepting new undergraduates.
