Caylin Billingsley
Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology; MD
Presenting at [the International Papillomavirus Conference in Scotland] was a surreal experience, as I had the opportunity to share my research with a room full of international researchers. It was gratifying to have several attendees approach me afterward to express their appreciation for my work and say they found my project and rationale easy to understand.

I knew I wanted to go to a school where great mentorship is a priority, where the culture is collaborative, and where I wouldn’t feel like just a number. IUSM’s umbrella program for biomedical PhD students was also an attractive feature as I was choosing a graduate school because it allowed me to explore several disciplines in the biomedical sciences before settling on a lab and mentor.

Indianapolis is the best of both worlds. I have all the access to cutting edge research tools and expertise and all that life in the city has to offer yet cost of living has allowed me and my wife to own a home in a great neighborhood just five miles from campus.
