Student Testimonial

“I have enjoyed participating in the CAG program. As a scientist who has moved away from research in recent years, it has allowed me to understand how genomics and other -omics technologies are being applied to help us understand diseases and identify better treatments for patients. My fellow classmates have a wide variety of backgrounds and this has enriched the discussion and broadened the perspectives that are shared during the classes. Not only have I learned from my professors, but I have also learned so much from my fellow CAG students.”
