Faculty often invite students to work with them on their own research projects in areas including the conservation biology of salamanders, aquatic ecology, entomology, physiological adaptations of plants to environmental stress, systematics of flowering plants in the Southeast, molecular mechanisms of embryonic development in Zebrafish, and molecular microbiology of infectious diseases. Also, independent research is encouraged and supported, and students regularly present the results of their research on campus during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/urcw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Undergraduate Research and Creative Works<\/a> (URCW) Symposium and at regional meetings like the Association of Southeastern Biologists.
