I'm working towards a BSc in microbiology, I'll graduate next spring. I haven't been able to get involved with a lab to do any kind of research yet, which makes me very sad. I might get a chance to work in a microbiological ecology lab this Fall where I'll just be doing DNA extractions and sequencing of cytochrome C oxidase genes in order to help identify some disease vectors from the Amazon; the lab I'll be working with is studying microbiomes of disease vectors, but I won't be directly involved in that part of it, I'll just be helping to identify some of the samples. But lab experience is good and hopefully I'll get a couple of good references so that I can go on to grad school with a focus on microbial ecology.
