Please share with us about your time at MCIP (year graduated and PI) and what you're doing now (if you have a lab or personal link that you would like to share, that would be awesome)!
Hello all, Kristi Bezold here! I am pleased to be the first alumni to join the SYNAPSE page! A little about me:
MCIP: PI: Samantha Harris, PhD Area: Cardiac muscle physiology Thesis: Evidence for a Role of Actin-Binding in the Regulatory Role of Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein-C Graduation: October 2013
Current: Position: Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University PI: Dan Bernstein, co-mentor: Jim Spudich Project: Understanding the genotype to phenotype connection in hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy due to mutations in β myosin heavy chain using human inducible pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Email: klbezold@stanford.edu
Wow, so impressed that MCIP now has it's own blogspot!

MCIP.... PI: Martha O'Donnell, PhD Area: Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Emphasis in Biotechnology & Translational Research Thesis: Ischemia-induced Stimulation of the Blood Brain Barrier Na-K-Cl Cotransporter: Evidence for the Role of Kinase Pathways Graduation: September 2011
Current... Position: Scientist Area: Translational Medicine - Biomarker development and Clinical Trial Management Company: OncoMed Pharmaceuticals Contact: breanna.wallace@gmail.com or you can find me on LinkedIn
Just remember grad school is only a small blip on the journey of life. The most important skills I took away were problem solving, learning when to chart a new path and have confidence in what I know. Always remember to network and take some time to build great friendships. My cohort still meets yearly to enjoy new successes and reminisce about the past!
