MS Curriculum
The MSIA Clinical & Translational Research Mentored Scholars Program aims to develop early career scientists and health professionals into productive, funded, clinical - translational researchers. Scholars enrolled in the MS sub-plan will engage in and learn processes and methodologies affiliated with basic science studies that have translational relevance to the health of patients as well as all types of clinical, epidemiologic, and community engagement focused research. Types of basic science research considered clinically relevant include, but are not limited to: the use of animal and cell culture models to examine mechanisms of disease; bio-modeling of disease states by technological approaches; and development of technology to study biological processes and diagnose and treat human diseases and medical conditions.
