Student Testimonials
Shailendra Dhakal, PhD; Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Harvard Medical School
Researching neurodegenerative diseases with the CMCB was invaluable to gaining my current position at Harvard. The exposure and experience I gained enormously helped me to grow as a scientist and develop professionally.
Ankita Bhattacharyya, PhD; Research Affiliate-I, Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health
I joined Â鶹´«Ã½ as a graduate student after the completion of my undergraduate studies in India, and I only had very little research exposure. Dr. Mavrodi's lab at the CMCB had a major impact on my development as a researcher.
