Testimonials

Listen to what our alumni and current candidates have to say about DSRP

“The rotations gave me a chance to try out different focuses and roles which helped shape my decision on what to focus on for my upcoming Ph.D.I was able to rotate in both the AI and Analytics team in the informatics department and the computational team in the more biology-focused biomarker department. Through these rotations, I found I was happiest working at the interface between biology and computer science which pushed me to pursue a Ph.D in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics after the completion of the program.”

Rotational Scientist II

“I feel fortunate to be a part of the DSRP, which consists of a diverse group not only in ethnicity but also in interests and experiences. I am one of the only hijabi Muslim women in the Development Sciences and Translational Medicine, I am also first-generation and grew up low income, so I feel both proud and excited that I get to share my experiences because it can help provide a unique perspective on things. Patients come from diverse backgrounds,  and I believe that having a diverse workplace can improve patient outcomes.”
