The division is training the next generation of researchers specializing in drug discovery, and a clear strength is the cadre of young scientists comprising our graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Currently, there are forty-one graduate students and eighteen postdoctoral fellows working as students, teachers, and scholars within the Division.

Our students receive full financial support, including a competitive stipend, paid tuition, and health insurance. They complete the PhD program in approximately five years, and our graduates have taken postdocs in prestigious labs (at Harvard, Duke, Scripps, and MIT, just to name a few) and found desirable positions in academia and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. We meet many of our students for the first time during the School's Recruitment Weekend each January (the 2008 group is pictured below with some of our current students).
