"I felt a strong sense of camaraderie from the other CMB students when I visited, and was deeply impressed with the research I saw when I visited. I also found an advisor here whose research perfectly matched my own interests."
ZACH MORROW
Zach entered the CMB Program in 2017 and is a student in the JD Sauer Lab. He works to understand immune signaling pathways that are responsible for generating robust responses to tumors.
"A group of CMB students get together every Thanksgiving. These are great because its hard to get home very often."
Ellen Wagner
Ellen entered the CMB Program in 2017 and is a student in the Audrey Gasch Lab.
"I love getting to look at my strains on the microscope. I don’t have a lot of microscopy in my project, so any excuse I have to jump on the microscope, I will. I love looking at the tiny yeast cells; they’re so cute!"
