A Message from the Founders of DBC
As PhD students in the Molecular and Cell Biology Program at Dartmouth and interested in future careers in biotechnology, Rachel, Nick and Nikhil recognized that more exposure and training in biotech for graduate students at Dartmouth would greatly enhance their educational experience and prepare them for competitive careers. Shortly after, the Dartmouth Biotech Club was launched.
“Thanks to everyone who believed in us, all who were patient with us during our early, unorganized state, and all those who recognized the potential and assisted us in making the Dartmouth Biotech Club a success! Special thanks to Claire Godbersen-Palmer who was our first believer and worked hard to launch the club while defending her thesis.”
