Publications

Publications are a key way for trainees to establish themselves in their careers and their potential to advance the field of biotechnology. The collaborative environment and interdisciplinary approach of BTP aids trainees in publishing innovative research, and students graduate with a set of publications that serve as a key indicator of their success. Trainees who graduated in the past 15 years had 5.8 publications on average, and 2.6 of these were first-author publications.

Below is a selection of BTP trainees and their research publications based on their research at UW­–Madison and immediately following graduation.

Alexander T. Duckworth, Ph.D. (2023) in Integrated Program in Biochemistry, James L. Keck Lab
