PhD in Molecular Virology and Microbiology, University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine, 2010

Why I chose Pitt
The virology program was strong, and when I interviewed, the students appeared more well-adjusted than in other places. The students and faculty actually talked to each other. Steve Phillips was also a great program director.
Following her graduate, Shelley was offered a position as a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Biological Sciences here at the University of Pittsburgh.
