The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) at the University of Rochester Medical Center is seeking outstanding candidates for a Population Health Research Postdoctoral Fellowship. The position is fully funded for a one-year period with the option of beginning January, 2021, or May/June, 2021. The goal is to produce interdisciplinary researchers trained in team science and competency
Talk 1 Title: Evaluating biomarkers using right accuracy measures: a statistician’s perspective Presenter: Lili Tian, Ph.D. Professor, Associate chair, and Director of graduate studies Department of Biostatistics SUNY at Buffalo Talk 2 Title: Inferring mutation order in cancer using a phylogenetic approach Presenter: Laura Kubatko, PhD Professor and Co-Director, Mathematical Biosciences Institute
The University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) is joining researchers across the country to test whether transfusions of plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients (also called convalescent plasma) can prevent infection in healthy volunteers or speed recovery in people with mild COVID-19 infections. The trials, which are led nationally by Schmuel Shoham, M.D., and David Sullivan, M.D., at Johns
With funding from the Harry T. Mangurian Jr. Foundation, the University of Rochester CTSI has partnered with the University of Rochester Medical Center to provide its researchers with a new and powerful tool in understanding the diagnosis and progression of coronavirus. The team has developed a COVID-19 Biobank that will safely collect and store blood samples from COVID-19 patients and link the
Self-determination theory (SDT) is an empirically based theory of motivation and psychological development that is especially focused on the basic psychological needs that promote high quality motivation and wellness, and how they are supported in social contexts. SDT details how the styles and strategies of motivators such as parents, teachers, coaches, managers, and health-care professionals can
The New York and Connecticut Consortium encourages joint ventures among the New York and Connecticut area CTSA institutions (NYCON) to develop collaboration between CTSA programs in the areas of medical scientist training; the creation of regional databases of facilities; regional training opportunities for investigators and research coordinators; the exploration of barriers to improved social
As researchers around the world race to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, University of Rochester CTSI Co-Director Martin Zand, M.D., Ph.D., is rapidly adapting previous research to develop a potential diagnostic test that would require just a few drops of blood to detect the fast-spreading disease. The current research was born out of a past UR CTSI pilot project in which Zand’s lab created a
The University of Rochester's Clinical and Translational Science Institution (CTSI) anchors the UNYTE Translational Research Network, made up of the region's premier biomedical research institutions. UNYTE's mission is to assist faculty and trainees from UNYTE institutions to increase the quality and quantity of translational research in the Upstate New York region. This is accomplished by
Denisse Vega-Ocasio, a student in the Translational Biomedical Sciences PhD Program at the University of Rochester Clinical & Translational Science Institute, is among 40 young science leaders who have been selected for a year-long fellowship at the Yale Ciencia Academy for Career Development. This highly-competitive program provides doctoral students from underrepresented backgrounds in the life
The UR/CSPS is pleased to announce the availability of positions for postdoctoral training in suicide prevention research. Now in its 19th year, the UR/CSPS postdoctoral training program is supported by an institutional National Research Service Award training grant from NIMH (Yeates Conwell, MD, Program Director; Kim Van Orden, PhD, Associate Director). It provides up to three years of stipend
Regulatory Science is defined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as “the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality and performance of FDA-regulated products” that ultimately enhances the overall translational research process and improves the development of safe and effective medical interventions. Precision medicine holds
Translational science seeks to speed up the process of moving research discoveries from the laboratory into healthcare practices. Numerous scientific and organizational roadblocks can act as obstacles along the path of translation and ultimately hinder the speed of progress in medical research. The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) was established by the National
The CTSA Collaborative Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) Workgroup identified a need to provide guidance, training and resources in DSMB practices for investigator-initiated research studies. To promote clinical and translational research, the CTSA Collaborative DSMB Workgroup, supported by NCATS, has produced an online DSMB Training Manual with a focus on investigator-initiated studies
