    “4-VA’s funding has allowed for our lab to be a part of an exclusive group of scientists from around the world that are beta-testing a revolutionary DNA sequencer—the Oxford Nanopore MinION—and applying it to our research on antibiotic resistance genes. I wouldn’t be pursuing my master’s at JMU if it wasn’t for my amazing undergraduate research experience.”
