Career Opportunities:
Incredible advances in molecular biology have stimulated a fast-growing
industry and greatly expanded career opportunities
for scientists with the specialized skills of molecular
biology. Although many of the molecular biology
graduates matriculate to medical school, others find
employment as research associates, technical representatives,
laboratory technologists, quality control managers,
molecular/pharmaceutical sales representatives, scientific
editors, and others. The long list of employers of
graduates of the Molecular Biology program includes
Smith-Kline Beecham, Merck, Wyeth Ayerst, Amersham
Pharmacia, Genelogic, Memorial Sloan Kettering, University
of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, the American
Red Cross, the National Institutes of Health, Hershey
Medical Center, University of Pennsylvania, Fox Chase
Cancer Center, and other private firms.
Graduates of the molecular biology program have completed
or are now working toward advanced degrees at a number
of highly respected graduate programs including Harvard,
Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Penn State, and Georgetown
University. Biology graduates have been highly successful
at Rutgers, Wake Forest, Michigan, Duke, Miami, Purdue,
Maryland, Delaware, Florida, Dalhousie, Pittsburgh,
Georgia, and Boston Universities, Penn State, and
others. We are quite proud of our Molecular Biology
graduates. Many of our graduates have become highly
respected scientists in cancer research and molecular
genetics.
