The Margulies lab focuses on quality training and mentorship for all of the post-doctoral clinicians, graduate students, and undergraduates who research with us. Trainees from the Margulies lab span a range of career paths, including, engineering consulting, non-research positions in the FDA, research in industry and academia, and start-up companies. Dr. Margulies has received awards for her excellence in mentoring, teaching, and advising, and she is a frequent participant in faculty panels at Penn’s Career Services and the Center for Teaching and Learning.
