Keep an eye out for our Career Lunches, which offer trainees the opportunity to have lunch with distinguished speakers visiting Virginia Tech!  On May 23rd, graduate students and postdocs sat down for a career discussion with Dr Ronald DePinho, President of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston, TX.  This was a fantastic opportunity for trainees to learn more about careers in translational research from an internationally recognized researcher in cancer, aging and age-associated degenerative disorders, as well as ask Dr DePinho about his experiences starting up numerous biopharmaceutical companies, and advice for young scientists on paving their own career path.
