T32 NIH Postdoctoral Training for Translating Research in Regenerative Medicine
This T32 program aims to create “B3-Trained” professionals who have received intense exposure to a “Bench-to-Business-to-Bedside” approach, focusing on translating research in regenerative medicine. For this purpose, the training program should represent a range of breakthrough, innovative, multidisciplinary-oriented projects that can offer our trainees a range of scientific opportunity/experience to work on, from pioneering basic science to commercialization-ready projects.
Research Focus Tracks
Rutgers T32 NIH Training Program Post-doctoral fellows will have the opportunity to train with mentors from the following six prestigious institutions: Rutgers University, Princeton University, Tufts University, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Case Western Reserve University and University of Pennsylvania.
