Translational Science Training Program
April 28 and MAy 1, 2023 In Person
The Translational Science Training Program is an exciting opportunity for NIH Intramural Postdoctoral Fellows and Graduate Students to learn more about the bench-to-bedside process. The TSTP course is an innovative training program that, in one course, intertwines interdisciplinary scientific content, understanding of the drug development process, professional skills development, clinical trial terminology, and career exploration.
The program will be IN PERSON on the Bethesda campus. The event will be from 9:30am to 5pm each day. For those fellows on campuses outside the Bethesda area, we will offer a virtual option, but hope to have you all in one room at that location. (Special circumstances can be discussed if you have concerns with attending in person, please reach out to Phil Ryan at ryanp@mail.nih.gov)
**Attendees will be limited to NIH Postdoctoral Fellows and NIH PhD Students. While all fellows interested in a career in translational science would benefit from attending the boot camp, it will be most beneficial to late graduate students and early postdoctoral fellows.
Participants will:
- Recognize the broad career options for someone with a Ph.D. in biomedical research, both in public and private sectors
- Gain insight into the drug discovery and development process using case studies of approved medicines
- Develop a network of professionals and mentors across the many functional areas in the bench to bedside process
