Strategies for Innovation and Interdisciplinary Translational Research: Research and Career Benefits and Barriers
- What promotes creativity and innovation in medical research?
- How can you bridge your research across disciplines and from bench to bedside?
- In practice, how does this impact career and research development?
The American Federation for Medical Research (AFMR) is pleased to present this workshop to discuss strategies for innovating and developing interdisciplinary, translational research and researchers. Panelists experienced in translational research and various academic and non-academic research settings - NIH-funded Clinical and Translational Research Centers, Stanford’s Bio-X Center, The Institute for Systems Biology, and Industry-sponsored “Incubators,” - will explore what works and what challenges are faced by institutions and researchers as we strive to develop novel solutions, bridge knowledge between disciplines and successfully bring research from bench to bedside to practice. The workshop is designed to promote discussion and brainstorming about current programs and new possibilities. We hope you will participate!
Networking and Light Refreshments to follow!
