Lab Tour: Lutz Lab

Interested in touring a research lab at the University of Washington? We hope you’ll join us for a lab tour with the Lutz Lab at the UW Department of Bioengineering!

The Lutz Lab focuses on developing point-of-care diagnostic technologies to address global health needs. If you’re curious about translational research, global health innovation, or diagnostic development, this is a great opportunity to see their work firsthand. We encourage you to visit their lab website to learn more about their research before completing the form.

Please note: The Lutz Lab is not recruiting undergraduate or graduate students for this quarter. This tour is intended solely as an opportunity to learn more about research at UW.
