Behind the Breakthroughs: ISB’s Postdoctoral Fellows in Focus
Postdoctoral fellows are the lifeblood of research institutions, yet their contributions are often underrecognized. At the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB), postdocs enter the scientific workforce with passion, vision, and advanced training – bringing the fresh ideas that fuel discovery.
Postdoctoral fellows are the lifeblood of research institutions, yet their contributions are often underrecognized. At the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB), postdocs enter the scientific workforce with passion, vision, and advanced training – bringing the fresh ideas that fuel discovery.
“Postdocs are the pulse of ISB,” said ISB Director, Senior Vice President, and Professor Dr. Nitin Baliga. “The innovation that happens here is driven, in large part, by the ideas that postdocs bring when they work with professors at ISB.”
ISB has a long history of welcoming and mentoring postdocs, providing them with the tools to build successful careers. A postdoc’s journey at ISB goes beyond research – it prepares them to solve real-world problems that require interdisciplinary skills and collaboration across labs.
“At graduate school, you learn how to do research. But going from that skillset to becoming an independent investigator, whether in academia or industry, is a rigorous journey,” Baliga said. “At ISB, postdocs learn not just how to do research, but how to establish their own research programs.”
