Carden explains his poster at the 2000 Neuroscience
Research Day Event.
Now is an exciting time to explore a future in biomedical research. Advances in neuroscience, genetics, and biotechnology make daily headlines, with promises to improve our health and change our lives. Capitalizing on these recent advances, the University of Louisville is emerging as a leading institution particularly with the introduction of an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to biomedicine sciences. This new approach builds upon the strengths of existing programs while affording the student the flexibility to fine tailor their graduate education.
Since completing my Ph.D. in Neuroscience, I look back and realize that the strength of a graduate education at the University of Louisville lies in its diversity: diversity of student population, diversity of programs and faculty. Above all, the greatest resource at the University of Louisville is its innovative researchers dedicated to graduate education through their expertise, involvement, and guidance. While attending the University of Louisville School of Medicine I had the opportunity to enrich my formal education with teaching opportunities, participation in graduate government, and personal interactions with leading researchers across medical disciplines. As I continued my academic career I found myself well prepared and competitive for each postdoctoral position I considered.
The combination of research and teaching experience enabled me to obtain a postdoctoral fellowship at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy where I am continuing to investigate key issues in developmental neurobiology.
With regard to your future, I offer you the following advice. If you are an energetic, hardworking and motivated person with a keen interest in biomedical research, the University of Louisville will afford you every opportunity to obtain the quality of education and skills necessary to succeed in this era of exploding biomedical discovery.
I wish you luck,
