Genetics Alumni
update, 9/15/23: We will be updating the Genetics Ph.D. listings to include as many Genetics alumni as possible. Because departmental records are incomplete, we would appreciate hearing from any alumni who aren't currently listed on this page so that we may add you. Please send any updates to Brian Giebel at bgiebel [ a t ] uw.edu. You can also connect with our alumni groups on LinkedIn and Facebook.
