The SB2 Training Program is currently in its sixth year of funding, and there are 27 trainees (15 women; nine URMs) affiliated with our program across six cohorts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As of September 2023:<\/p>\n
Time to Degree and Completion Rate.<\/strong> We have retained 95% (21\/22) of our SB2 trainees. Three trainees recently graduated with a Ph.D.; the one graduate student that left the Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. program did so, in part, because her thesis supervisor left BU for a position at another institution. The average time-to-degree for the three Ph.D. graduates was 57.3 months (4.8 years).<\/p>\n Publications.<\/strong> Our trainees have published 15 papers, including two bioRxiv pre-prints. Nine of those papers (60%) are first-author publications.<\/p>\n Career Outcomes.<\/strong> Of the four trainees who are no longer BU Ph.D. students, one of them is in medical school, one is interviewing for jobs, one is a Senior Associate Consultant at Lumanity, and the fourth is the CEO & Co-Founder of Anthology<\/a>, a start-up company that is optimizing genomes of underexplored organisms, such as filamentous fungi, for advanced biomanufacturing applications.<\/p>\n We are working with BU central administration to develop a dashboard display of a number of metric-focused outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The SB2 Training Program is currently in its sixth year of funding, and there are 27 trainees (15 women; nine URMs) affiliated with our program across six cohorts.
