People

The Schmitt Lab is currently not accepting undergraduate students to the lab. Please check back in a couple months for any open positions.

The Schmitt Lab only accepts graduate students from the  Chemistry Graduate Program,  Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology (BMSB) Graduate Program, Masters in Applied Chemical Sciences (MACS), and Molecular Biology Interdepartmental Doctoral Program (MBIDP) at UCLA. Those interested in pursuing PhD or masters studies in the lab should apply through those programs. Current students interested in rotating in the Schmitt Lab should contact Danielle Schmitt via email.

Potential postdoctoral fellows are asked to email Dr. Schmitt with their CV, a cover letter, and list of three professional references.
