People

The DU Spit Lab is led by an interdisciplinary group of employees from across the University. Affirming our commitment to the Four-Dimensional Student Experience, the Spit Lab comprises hundreds of student interns, who gain hands-on experience working in a fast-paced public health laboratory. Our student staff is truly the backbone of this operation, we could not do what we do without them.
