On Monday February 11th, Princeton’s Office of the Dean for Research published an article on the Princeton-Rutgers MD/PhD program, featuring our very own MD/PhD candidate Ila!
As an added bonus, Ila and Alex were temporarily featured on Princeton University’s home page (see photo below).
In the article, Ila is quoted as saying:
[I appreciate] the fast-paced, translational nature of [my] work in the Ploss lab, as well as the supportive and collaborative environment at Princeton. My adviser Alexander Ploss and M.D.-Ph.D. program directors Dan Notterman and Jim Millonig have gone out of their way to provide a unique training experience tailored to our needs, including providing clinical shadowing opportunities, organizing journal clubs to discuss developments in medicine, and exposing us to different career paths that fit our skills.
