Where are they now?

I was reminiscing about the amazing people who have passed through our lab over the years. We have a constant stream of new team members and people finishing up. So what happens after you leave an academic lab? Here are our outcomes:

12 technicians:

• 40% moved to higher education (MPhil/PhD)
• 60% moved to another academic laboratory job 

30 Masters students:

• 43% started a PhD
• 7% started another higher education degree
• 23% technician positions in academia
• 20% moved to biotech/pharma
• 7% moved to agtech

22 PhD students:

• 30% became post-docs
• 8% went to other positions in academia
• 40% to biotech/pharma
• 13% to clinical posts
• 4% to law

27 post-docs:

• 27% to tenure-track / tenured positions
• 27% to another post-doc position
• 42% to biotech/pharma

All of them now successful!
