Aditi Shankardass earned her doctoral (MD) degree from University College London and she attended the University of Sheffield for her PhD in Neuroscience.
Franziska Michor received her PhD from Harvard's Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology in 2005. Afterwards, she was a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows and worked at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Olivia Judson received her PhD in biological sciences from Oxford University.
Jennifer McCarty, PhD: Materials Science and Engineering
Talmesha Richards, PhD: Molecular Medicine
Cheska Burleson earned her PhD in Chemical Oceanography from The University of South Florida. Her research focused on the production of toxins by algae blooms commonly known as "red tide." She also evaluated the medicinal potential of these algal species, finding extracts that show promise as anti-malarial drugs and in combating various strains of staphylococcus, including MRSA—the most resistant and devastating form of the bacteria.
