Reflections on GEB's Growth Since 2004

When the Department of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology was established at SUST in 2004, few of us could have predicted how far the department — and its alumni network — would grow in the years since.

What started as a small cohort of students has become a global community of researchers, industry professionals, healthcare workers, and entrepreneurs. GEBAA exists to keep that community connected, whether you graduated last year or two decades ago.

This is an example post illustrating the kind of reflective, community-oriented writing we hope to see more of in this space — alumni sharing their own journeys, lessons learned, and ways to give back to the department that shaped them.
