Mission Statement:
Train a cadre of Ph.D. scientists who have a foundation in the molecular basis of disease, who can formulate clinically important questions from a basic science perspective, who understand how to interface and collaborate with clinical and translational researchers and who have the set of skills to target their research programs to address unmet therapeutic and diagnostic needs. Trainees will be empowered to spearhead the bidirectional translation of discoveries between the “bench” and “bedside” to harness the explosion of scientific knowledge to improve human health. This is a training track offered within the Integrative Biology Graduate Program. Admission to this track will be limited to six students per year and selection will be based on an application, personal statement and interview in the spring of the first year.
Specific Goals:
- Bridge education in basic science, medicine and clinical research principles and practices.
- Provide a curriculum that integrates clinical and translational research training components with the already rigorous training in hypothesis driven basic research.
- Offer structured opportunities to experience direct patient contact and clinical research.
