I'm interested in pursuing an MSTP, but do not know where to start. I'm a chemical engineering major at a large research university, where opportunities for research are available everywhere. Does any sort of research count? Is it okay to work in more than one laboratory? Do MSTPs expect you to have published, by the time that you apply? I have interests in organic chemistry and microbiology and know of professors who are doing research in those areas. Would it be wise to touch base with them and see if I could work in their laboratory and conduct research? What about clinical research? How would I go about doing that and is it necessary?
Pardon my ignorance, but I'm very new to this. I'm very eager to do this, though.
