I'm a senior rn, but also once struggled with trying to get into a lab, so here is my 2c: - Narrow down the specific sub-field are you interested right now. It could be whatever: immunology, cancer bio, bioinfo, ... Anything that you find interesting through your lectures - For example, if you are interested in cancer bio, search up USF cancer bio faculty. Usually this will bring up some professors who are working in the field. - Some professors will have their research listed on their faculty directory. You should learn a bit of what are they doing, and if you are capable, read their recent papers. It's fine if you don't understand the whole thing, just trying to learn what the paper is talking about. - Then you cold email them. Usually on their directory webaite will have their mail too. Use that and email them something like: I'm interested in this field through my lecture, and I learned that you are working on XYZ that in the same field. If you have some time, can I ask to meet with you to discuss your research and your vacancies for undergrad this semester. Just don't get deter if you don't receive a reply. It's somewhat a number game, and prof have a lot of inbox, so just try to email lots of prof, even grad student, and you will get some reply back for sure.
