Dear Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program Faculty and Students,

As I wrap up my final day as the Biomed Graduate Program Director, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you and extend my best wishes for the program's continued success.

Please join me in welcoming our incoming Director, Dr. Marcus Kaul, who will be joining Dr. Xuecai, Dr. Heinrich, and our Student Services Advisor, Ms. Hermila Torres in leading the program.

I would like to take a moment to thank a few key individuals who made my work possible and deeply rewarding:


  *   Dr. Carson, our Chair, for your valuable guidance and insightful discussions.
  *   Ms. Hermila Torres, for your constant support, dedication, and partnership.
  *   Dr. Zheng, for working tirelessly on behalf of our students.
  *   Graduate Division Leadership (with a special shout-out to Dr. Wilson and Dr. Sweeney), for serving as an incredible source of support for our graduate program.
  *   Graduate Student leadership for consulting and advising us.

Finally, thank you to the related Medical School and our dedicated Biomedical staff for your unwavering support throughout my time in this role. It has been a true privilege to serve as Director for over 5 years.

PS: Do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions. I am here and I am available.

Best regards

Seema
