CTSciNet: Groups
A group for clinical bioinformaticians. Discussions on clinical applications of bioinformatics.
This group was created to enable users to discuss issues relating to translational medicine ontology and/or translational bioinformatics. Both terms are used simultaneously as they may coexist, but often overlap in their efforts to enable researchers, clinicians, and those involved in the pharmaceutical industry to more easily digest and understand all forms of information as it becomes available. As expected with any group, input from participants will help to direct the overall focus.
One of the keys to translating a basic-science discovery into a real-world therapy is commercialization--and that means either starting a new company or licensing your technology.
Meet students in clinical/basic science dual-degree programs and discuss the issues that matter to you.
For the discussion of the issues women face entering, surviving, and thriving in and after MD/PhD programs
Many medical students are interested in research, but information on how to enter research can be hard to find. Start here.
For discussions of mental health issues, especially for clinician-scientists, with Harvard's Alice Flaherty, M.D.-Ph.D.
The transition from medical school to graduate school can be difficult. This group is meant for those that wish to discuss their experiences, share some words of advice, and discover networking opportunities.
Interested in platelet function and their effects on innate and adaptive immunity? There is a small group of immunologists studying the impact of platelets on immune function. It would be good to have the clinical strength to accompany the basic science findings. And to complement each other to develop novel approaches to prevent platelet mediated inflammation.
An interactive and interdisciplinary platform for people interested in pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of portal hypertension and its complications.
Learn about these novel programs, which can speed and ease the transition from the M.D. to the science lab.
Get yourself invited to give a talk in another department, or even another institution. It's one of the best things you can do for your career. You don't need to be a part of the official lecture series; even participating in a research group's group meeting can help you establish the connections you need to advance your research career. Here's where you can trade invitations.
Group to faciliate interaction and collaboration between PhDs involved in translational research.
