The Translational Research Initiative

The Department of Neurological Surgery at Columbia is launching a Translational Research Initiative.

Introducing: Columbia Neurosurgery's Translational Research Initiative

A Need for More Brain Power

Our team currently has several translational projects. However, due to our high-volume clinical practice, our surgeons must lead in the operating rooms and spend time with patients for considerable portions of their day. Therefore, our initiative will employ a sublayer of exceptional talent - focusing on postdoctoral research scientists and multidisciplinary visionaries to collaborate with us and consolidate 50 years of research into FIVE

Columbia Neurosurgery's Translational Research Initiative will also:

  • Promote new biotech and medical device spinouts within this space
  • Help build an enhanced life science network
  • Create opportunities for early and mid-career talent across several areas of need
