Join the team

If you would like to join our lab, please email Dr. Glenn

Although it is possible to directly enter Dr. Glenn's lab for a graduate degree in EHS or Bioinformatics (or Toxicology), most students enter our lab via UGA's ILS program.  Students apply to ILS before December 1st, with interviews in January or February, followed by offers to join in the fall semester. Students admitted to ILS rotate through 3 labs in their first fall semester, then join a lab at the end of that semester. If you have questions regarding ILS please see: How to Apply - Integrated Life Sciences (uga.edu)
