Master's Programs

The M.S. in Biology program helped me hone my computational and experimental skills at the bench. The courses provided an excellent foundation in exploring biology through the lens of big data.

The MS Biology program provided me the opportunity to work in Dr. Sanjana’s research lab, where I gained hands-on skills in molecular biology, genomic engineering, and immunology. The program was challenging yet accommodating to students’ needs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conducting research for my Master’s thesis allowed me to apply theoretical methods I’d been studying for years to a real-world problem. Studying trichomoniasis, one of the most commonly sexually transmitted infections, I gained further perspective into prevalent infectious diseases.

The MS program offered at NYU GSAS aided in my development as a scientist, and the courses offered improved my knowledge within the discipline. This experience has prepared me for the next steps in my career as I transition to the Doctor of Dental Surgery program at NYU College of Dentistry.

The Biology Master’s degree has provided me with the necessary tools to grow professionally and personally as a scientist. I have learned the importance and value of collaboration by being a part of a tight-knit research group led by Dr. Desplan and Dr. Reinberg.

This program allowed me to pursue my scientific academic interests while constantly challenging me along the way. The research experiences and ability to work independently on complex problems helped me advance my career in the National Defense industry.
