Summer Research

The Cross-Disciplinary Science Institute at Gettysburg College (X-SIG), directed by Prof. Frey, annually funds summer research in the sciences. X-SIG programming prepares students to answer science’s most pressing questions across multiple disciplines, equipping students with skills necessary for modern research and allowing them to explore the practical and ethical aspects of being a scientist.

In addition to the 20 Chemistry and BMB students involved in 2021 summer research, 51 other students participated in research with Biology, Computer Science, Economics, Environmental Studies, Health Studies, Psychology and Physics.
