The Translational Research Initiative
Accelerating fifty years of research into five
The Translational Research Initiative
The Department of Neurological Surgery at Columbia is launching a 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
