To participate in journal clubs
To develop good reading habits so that they can keep abreast of major developments in their field and in related biomedical sciences
To present their research findings at meetings of professional societies in their field
To show leadership and maturity by assisting other graduate students and staff in research techniques and the use and maintenance of instrumentation
To help in the active recruitment of graduate students into the program
To take an active role in maintaining the research environment of the Department and the University
It is expected that every doctoral candidate will publish at least one first-author paper on the findings from his/her dissertation research in a national/international journal.
