Former Graduate Students
100 scholars have received their Ph.D. from the Department of Molecular Biosciences since 2006. The average time to completion is 5-6 years with around 70% of students completing their degree in less than 6 years. Students have published, on average, 3-4 manuscripts with around 2 first author publications. These students have gone on to prestigious postdoctoral fellowships, to become assistant professors or to successful careers in industry. The table below gives more detailed information regarding our former graduate students. "Publications" in the table refers to the number of publications the student generated as part of their dissertation. Clicking the number will take you to PubMed where you can find more information about those publications.
