PRIDE - Functional and Applied Genomics of Blood Disorders

Mentors

Mentoring is the single most important factor that contributes to academic success. Those with mentors are more likely to make timely progress toward their degrees, and make renewed commitments to their professions. This collaboration allows mentees to meet the various challenges of their careers. Mentoring is a personal as well as a professional relationship.
