A major focus of the Kolhe Lab and associated Georgia Research Pathology Services is student education in pathology and laboratory sciences.

Undergraduates may conduct honors thesis projects of research or scholarship under the mentorship of a thesis adviser, a faculty member of the student's choice whose area of expertise relates directly to the subject matter of the thesis.  

Kolhe Lab accepts applications for graduate lab assistantship (GLA) positions offered through the MS in Medical Physiology program. GLAs are paid positions that require 10-20 work hours per week outside of class sessions. 

GLAs receive mentorship and hands-on training to carry out molecular laboratory workflows independently. These positions provide an excellent opportunity to develop practical lab skills while contributing to active research projects under the guidance of Drs. Ahluwalia and Mondal. 

MS students are eligible for GLA positions during the fall and spring semesters with applications due two months before the semester begins. Previous research or lab experience is not required; candidates are interviewed and selected based on general skills and personal attributes desirable for the laboratory. 

The Clinical Molecular Methods Internship (CLSC-7990) is offered annually to provide hands-on laboratory training in the step-by-step execution of molecular diagnostic assays for MLT students. Under Dr. Mondal's guidance, students work through each phase of testing, from sample preparation to data analysis, and evaluate their performance through rigorous grading to ensure mastery of technical and analytical skills. Dr. Mondal's training approach emphasizes clarity, precision, and practical application, enabling students to translate classroom learning into clinical laboratory competence.
