I have had a wonderful time here in the Department of Genetics with many other students like me and the kind, exceptional, scientists of the department. I feel great that I became part of this community and learned so much. I loved the RiG (Research Genetics) day that we heard about all types of research happening in the department. I enjoyed the garden parties and celebration events we did together. Special lecture series is also a unique experience. The themed-happy hours that individual labs put together were also so lovely to meet and engage with each other. I will miss my time here so much!  (O'Kane Lab, 2017-2022) 

 

PhD Graduate (O'Kane Lab, 2017-2022) (March 2022)

I have had an exceptionally wonderful and academically enriching PhD experience at the Department of Genetics! The research diversity in the department allows one to explore broader fields through the regular internal and invited seminar series. At the same time, being relatively small and tightly knit encourages lots of interactions and exchanges of ideas. The Genetics Tea Room sits at the heart of the department where exciting scientific discussions often take place, departmental events and festivities are celebrated, and of course, where you can enjoy a relaxing cup of tea!
