PhD Clinical and Translational Science

Research is a core part of the eleven BSTPs. Our faculty conduct research across five different institutions and within more than 30 basic and clinical disciplines. Aside from the basic sciences featured below, our faculty conduct research in a variety of other fields including pediatrics, cancer, radiology, urology, neurology, and neurological surgery, medicine and family medicine, dermatology, anesthesiology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, emergency medicine, otolaryngology, rehabilitation, surgery, plastic surgery, psychiatry, and reproductive biology. 

Research Examples: 

  • Genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders and pediatric-onset neurodegeneration
  • Cellular factors that regulate susceptibility of cells to HIV infection
  • Structural biophysics of protein-viral RNA interactions involved in gene expression
  • Influence of human and parasite genetic polymorphism on pathogenesis of infectious diseases
