Yeliz Yilmaz (Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center, Turkey) completed her 3 month fellowship with Molecular Oncology in 2024 and was subsequently offered a job there.
"Throughout my fellowship, I greatly enjoyed being a part of a scientific editorial office... I was fortunate to work with an amazing team where I was treated not like a temporary intern, but like one of their actual staff. Everyone spent time and gave endless effort in helping me improve my skills, this let me feel like I belong there."
