“I am immensely grateful to the Zuckerman STEM program for providing me the opportunity to pursue my postdoctoral research in the United States. My postdoc was a transformative experience, impacting me not only on a scientific level but also on a personal one. Throughout this journey, I had the privilege of working alongside inspiring advisors, engaging with exceptionally talented and creative colleagues from diverse backgrounds at both the Broad Institute and Yale University, and fostering collaborative relationships with leading researchers in my field.”

Helping women scientists make an impact by establishing of their own lab
One of the toughest challenges for young female scholars is the leap from researcher to Principal Investigator (PI), a long, complex process that requires a helping hand. The Zuckerman STEM Leadership Program provides much needed support to help the young PI establish a lab, as well as significant resources that provide an opportunity to learn from the Zuckerman community through mentorship and exchange. These are key tools that ensure the success of the lab – from the planning stage to staff recruitment and operational logistics. The Zuckerman Faculty Scholars Program is unique in its accompaniment of young researchers, giving promising young women researchers the opportunity to take their research to the highest level of scientific achievement.
