Ph.D. Thesis Topics

Just so you can get a taste of what kinds of research that MSTP students might do, this page lists the students that have graduated from the MD portion of the program since 2001, the year they obtained their PhD, and the title of their thesis. Hopefully, this information will allow you to see the wide scope of work that is done by students in the MSTP.
