As the nature of my graduate program is Translational biology, I am interested in learning how lab research is applicable in the industrial settings. I am keen to explore the possibilities of utilizing the research skills and knowledge that I as a graduate student will develop along my graduate career. I hope to get a better understanding of the skills that are required in order to be successful in the biotech field which would help me have a bigger picture of what to expect, when I finish my education. I think this mini-internship trip would provide me with a perfect opportunity to do so.
