“When I was looking for the next step in my career, my goal was to be closer to patients and clinical research. I had heard of BRI and thought a postdoc here would be a great way to do that. I’ve already learned so much and seen how translational the work is. I’m looking forward to being involved with so many projects where everyone is working together with one goal.”
