IBiS is the Interdisciplinary Biological Sciences PhD program at Northwestern.
Evanston, IL
Joined October 2017
Our amazing alum Dr. Luyi Cheng visited IBiS to give a seminar about potential careers in science policy, followed by a Lunch and Learn event where grad students asked in-depth questions about Luyi’s career path and job knowledge. A lovely time was had by all! Thank you, Luyi!
