plant molecular biology phd to microbiology post-doc

[jdp]

Hi All,

I'm currently doing a phd in plant molecular biology, but would probably like to move over to working on yeast when I go on to do a postdoc.

Does anyone have experience of this sort of change of field? Is it feasible?

Cheers,

jdp

Hi. I'm also working on a PhD in plant molecular biology. My supervisor tells me many of techniques you pick up during this type of PhD will carry through to related fields. If you're enthusiastic enough, i don't see why you couldn't work with Yeast.

Yeah. It’s good to be yourself. Same with you, I will try to do something. So I support your decision!
