TPCB graduates continue onto successful scientific careers

Our PhD graduates leave TPCB well-positioned for a variety of exciting scientific careers. Both the program and our faculty are strongly committed to our students’ career development and professional advancement, and our alumni have been highly successful at securing competitive positions. Our career development offices at the three participating institutions organize numerous workshops and networking events to help students identify and prepare for a wide range of scientific careers. After completing their thesis research, approximately two-thirds of our PhD graduates choose to expand upon their training through postdoctoral studies in leading laboratories around the world, while the remainder proceed directly to permanent positions. Our alumni are engaged in successful careers in academia, industry, and government, with 17% holding tenure-track faculty positions at research universities, 44% working as research scientists at major pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology startups, private research institutes, and academic and government laboratories, and 24% engaged in careers in science policy, strategy, education, and law.
