STUDENT PERSPECTIVES
"As a full-time student, I enjoyed the independence I had on my research project, but also appreciated the support of Dr. Bill Kelly who provided guidance and connected me with people in industry for further discussion on the topic.鈥�
Evan Kurt, PhD student and graduate researcher, Biomedical Engineering, Duke University
鈥淚'm grateful to have been part of a graduate program that was small enough to allow me to interact with all of the other graduate students and all of the faculty. It helped me develop a really well-rounded approach to my research.鈥�
Emily Harris 鈥�20 MSBChE, Associate CAR T Cell Scientist, Janssen Pharmaceuticals
鈥淭here were a lot of pharmaceutical courses throughout the program that were in line with what I do every day. The combination of theory and the practical application in the classroom helped me to apply what I learned to what I do in the lab at work.鈥�
