Intended audience is advanced (3rd/4th year) undergraduate students who has foundational genetics and cell biology knowledge. The focus of narrative is on the key processes of the development instead of dry terminology or descriptive storytelling. Wherever possible, a not well-trodden path was taken in the transdisciplinary realm across life and physical sciences to satiate the joyful inquiry of ‘why’.

Drawing on a mixed-methods design, the research integrates survey data from 104 participants and in-depth interviews with 19 individuals, alongside a comprehensive literature review. Findings highlight the role of non-curricular undergraduate research as a high-impact educational practice that can enhance research competencies, confidence, and employability. Participants reported substantial benefits including advanced research skills, teamwork abilities, and increased self-confidence, while also identifying challenges related to time management, complexity of tasks, and communication with supervisors. This study underscores the importance of mentorship, equitable access, and institutional support in maximizing the benefits of non-curricular undergraduate research experiences. Recommendations include expanding access, improving onboarding processes, and embedding equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles into research opportunities.
