At the Center for Adaptation Genetics and Drug Resistance, our staff is comprised of postdoctoral researchers from all over the world. We provide our staff with the experience and skills necessary to continue a fulfilling career in science, and many go on to pursue their activities at other research labs, in the private sector, or for various levels of governance.
