Describe GenRes in three words:

Access, Impact, Nurture

Why is GenRes important:

GenRes genuinely makes a difference by providing research and technical experience to those who might not otherwise get such opportunities. This is particularly important as such experience is becoming more common in successful PhD applications.

What do you love most about GenRes:

I love seeing individual students shine, whether it's smashing an interview, embracing a new discipline, generating exciting new data, or presenting an amazing talk at our annual symposium. It is so cool to watch these students succeed.

Role outside of genres:
