Trainee Testimonials
 Asmer Aliyeva (2025 Co-op at Regeneron)"In my graduate research, I would prepare the libraries and send them for sequencing but during my co-op I learned how to sequence the samples myself and learned to use Python, how to get rid of batch effects, and other programs to run differential gene expression. I would just say to not be scared to apply and companies are really open to teaching people and helping them to learn different skills." |  Camryn Beckles (2025 Internship at Regeneron)“My goal was to develop ideal protocols for analysts to use once the new instrument is qualified. Any ideas that I had, I was able to put forward and over the course, I definitely learned how to manage my time." |  Jared Rogalski (2025 Internship at Regeneron)"This co-op showed me what it takes to work in industry from balancing multiple experiments to presenting results to a team. It gave me the confidence that I can succeed in this environment." |

 Karly Suhr (2025 Internship at Regeneron)"Most of the knowledge I came into this experience with was from my classes. Having that foundational knowledge allowed me to make sense of what was happening. By completing this experience, I have now seen the business side of industry and how it is just as important as the research." |  Shu Jun Lin (2024 Internship at Pfizer)"This internship is a truly remarkable experience filled with a purpose, to learn and contribute to the world. Getting career and personal advice from greater leaders at Pfizer and being able to hear their stories was inspiring." |  Humphrey Omeoga (2024 Internship at Regeneron)"Interning at Regeneron was an invaluable experience, and I highly recommend it. There are opportunities beyond STEM-related positions, and even if you don’t get placed in your preferred role or department, there is room to grow in whatever position you’re offered." |
 Angela White (2025 REU in RNA Trainee)"I obtained a better understanding of what it is like to run your own experiments. Exploring this new area allowed me to learn so much more about Myotonic Dystrophy. I was trained on new instruments and learned how to use them and analyze their data. It was a great new experience.” |  Emmett Hanson (2025 REU in RNA Trainee)“I gained experience in CRISPR-based biosensing techniques allowing for a deeper understanding in synthetic biology-based biosensing. I am developing a new method to detect foodborne pathogens and come up with different methods to detect all these pathogens using different synthetic biology techniques.” |  Massa Masri (2025 REU in RNA Trainee)"Since I was little, I wanted to become a physician, but I never thought about doing research... now I want to get to the root of diseases and try to cure them. To do that, you need to understand molecular biology, and it's why I appreciate research." |
 Sydney Johnson (2025 REU in RNA Trainee)"In more ways than one, the progress I’ve made this summer wouldn’t have been possible without a community to help guide my growth. My deepest hope is that one day I can create one as welcoming as this." |  Vanessa Gentile (2025 REU in RNA Trainee)"Mentorship made all the difference for me and their help was the most valuable part of the entire program. From advice on interpreting data, graduate school, and careers, to simple day-to-day tasks, the support was the main reason I thrived." |
