Prof. Nicole King and I officially became Program Directors of UC Berkeley’s Genetic Dissection of Cells and Organisms Training Program (GDTP)—the T32 predoctoral training program from NIGMS initiated and led by Profs. Iswar Hariharan and Jasper Rine. We submitted the renewal application last week and hope to be able to continue this important genetics training program for our PhD students across three departments (Molecular & Cell Biology, Integrative Biology, and Plant & Microbial Biology).
