🎓 Every August, we welcome a new class of graduate students ready to begin their journey toward a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences! This year, 42 students joined the IGP and QCB program, kicking off their @VanderbiltU @vubretaspire experience. 👉 medschool.vanderbilt.edu/basic-sciences…


🧪 @VanderbiltU researchers are on a mission to “smooth out the bumps” in medicinal chemistry. Their new work addresses key inefficiencies that slow discovery and could accelerate the path from lab to clinic. Learn more 👉 medschool.vanderbilt.edu/basic-sciences…
