On April 13, Muhammad successfully defended his PhD dissertation in front of friends and faculty. His thesis, titled "Mechanistic Triangulation Across Molecular, Circuit, and Behavioral Scales," reflects years of research completed during his graduate training in the Michaelson Lab. 

With the successful defense of his dissertation, Muhammad earned his PhD in Genetics and graduated in May.
