Versatile Options for PhDs: Medical & Scientific Communications

The GSBS Writing Studio is proud to present this new workshop series on the many versatile career options for PhDs in the biomedical sciences. 

Join us as you hear how the speakers transitioned from their doctorate training and academia setting to where they are today in the scientific/research development & medical communications arenas.  Open discussion and questions are encouraged!

Dr. Geetha Achanta started off as an international graduate student at the UTHealth-Houston/MD Anderson Cancer Center GSBS.  She can speak to the various issues faced by international students and postdocs and describe her path to success today at MJH Life Sciences.

Dr. Elizabeth Hileman was a graduate student as well at the UTHealth-Houston/MD Anderson Cancer Center GSBS. She skipped doing any postdoc at all and went straight into technology commercialization, research development, and strategic alliance management.  She can speak to her differing path to success today at UTMB.
