Being
part of the BCMB
program at Hopkins
prepared me for
a career of hypothesizing,
planning and
conducting experiments,
and thinking
about data. These
core skills gave
me the confidence
to explore a
completely different
field for my
post-doc work.
-- Kara
L. Cerveny, BCMB 2005, Current postdoctoral fellow in the Dept.
of Anatomy and Developmental Biology,
Univ. College London |

I
am now working
on the identification
of new members
of the Notch
signaling pathway,
which is required
for normal animal
development and
is also overactive
in some cancers.
The BCMB program
provided me with
the strong background
in genetics,
biochemistry,
and cell biology
that prepared
me for success
in my postdoctoral
work.

Columbia Univ. |

I'm
currently conducting
postdoctoral
research in a
lab that studies
bacterial pathogenesis.
In addition to
continuing to
develop my abilities
as an X-ray crystallographer/structural
biologist, my
current lab also
focuses on biochemical
and genetic approaches.
Hopkins is an
incredibly sound
institution and
the BCMB program
spans a broad
range of science
that prepared
me well for understanding
the multidisciplinary
science conducted
in my current
position.

Ghosh, Univ. of California, San Diego |

The
BCMB program
is very diverse
and it allows
you to meet and
interact with
many faculty
who are experts
outside of your
direct research
area. I have
found that those
interactions
help broaden
your thinking
and really help
now that I am
in my post-doc.
-- Mikkel Algire, BCMB 2006. Postdoctoral Fellow with Chuck
Merryman, Synthetic Biology Group, J. Craig Venter Institute, Rockville,
MD. |
