"My time at the VUMC in the Powers Brissova Lab was a wonderful experience in research. I worked there for two summers, and I learned so much. The staff there not only taught me about lab practices, science, research, and academia, but also about excellent professional values, integrity, and the importance of mentorship. I would recommend this lab for anyone that wants to work on the cutting edge of endocrinology research amongst some of the most talented and intelligent researchers I have had the pleasure of meeting."

"Employee experiences vary widely across Vanderbilt given the immense size of the institution. In my particular location, with my particular group, the experience has been fantastic. We've been isolated from the bureaucracy and some of the asinine policies that have been implemented elsewhere."
