Impact/significance: Direct feedback from participants about their experiences in research is essential to improve representative participation in research. As a Rockefeller University CCTS-led collaboration of 6 CTSAs, we built a new streamlined RPPS/REDCap infrastructure to collect and analyze participant feedback. Five CTSAs implemented locally configured Use Cases of the new infrastructure
-Rockefeller UniversityThe CTSA Visiting Scholar program consists of giving the virtual CTSA Grand Rounds lecture, which is open to the entire CTSA Consortium, and virtual meetings between KL2 Scholars and faculty at the host institution and their KL2 peers. There are two main goals of this program. The first is to offer the opportunity to serve as a visiting professor and help make connections with faculty that will
September 29, 2021In the early days of the pandemic, with commercial COVID tests in short supply, Rockefeller’s Robert B. Darnell developed an in-house assay to identify positive cases within the Rockefeller community. It turned out to be easier and safer to administer than the tests available at the time, and it has been used tens of thousands of times over the past nine months to identify and isolate infected

November 02, 2020The gut is an unusually noisy place, where hundreds of species of bacteria live alongside whatever microbes happen to have hitched a ride in on your lunch. Scientists have long suspected that the gut’s immune system, in the face of so many stimuli, takes an uncharacteristically blunt approach to population control and protection from foreign invaders—churning out non-specific antibodies with broad
November 02, 2020For people with rheumatoid arthritis, life is a little like sailing. On clear days with no symptoms, everything works exactly as it should; when a storm rolls in and symptoms flare up, even simple tasks become painfully difficult. But while literal storms are easy to forecast, arthritis flares tend to strike with no rhyme or reason.-

A series of compounds discovered in the laboratory of Rockefeller’s Jan L. Breslow will be developed into novel medicines, the drug discovery company Bridge Medicines recently announced. These compounds have shown promise in treating immune-mediated conditions in animals, such as models of rheumatoid arthritis, without compromising the immune system and harming the rest of the body—a side effect
Rockefeller UniversityWhile there is universal recognition of the importance of team science and team leadership in clinical and translational science, there is a remarkable dearth of valid and reliable outcome measures on team science leadership. As a result, we developed a semi-quantitative translational science-specific team leadership competency assessment tool and have begun pilot studies to validate it and use it

The Rockefeller University
The Rockefeller University mission statement is science for the benefit of humanity. The Rockefeller University Center for Clinical and Translational Science is devoted to maximizing the bidirectional opportunities for clinical and translational research. Building on Rockefeller University Hospital's illustrious history as the birthplace of American biomedical science and translational research, and funded in part by an NIH Center for Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), the Center is designed to provide an optimal infrastructure to conduct clinical and translational research and to educate the next generation of physician scientists committed to patient-oriented research.
The Center for Clinical and Translational Science continues Rockefeller University's tradition of focusing on the interface between scientific discovery, human pathophysiology, and novel diagnostic, preventative and therapeutic strategies to benefit all of humanity.
