The PhD in Basic and Translational Science offers in depth training in the basic science plus courses in translational science. It builds on our previous successes in basic research in the areas of biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, genetics, microbiology, neurosciences, pharmacology, physiology and toxicity to develop translational research training.

?Goals

• To produce a new class of investigators rigorously trained in basic science and credentialed in translational research who think broadly and logically about clinical problems;
• To promote research that bridges the gap between basic science knowledge and clinical practice;
• To build a team of collaborators that will translate basic science research findings into patient care.
