Making a Difference for the Future
The mission of our Institute for Clinical and Translational Research is to enhance the discipline of clinical and translational research by promoting multidisciplinary collaboration, addressing translational 'blocks' in research, providing infrastructure and collaborative support, and enhancing training, education, and career development, as part of the CTSA consortium.
The Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) is jointly sponsored by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center. The ICTR will re-engineer clinical and translational research, reorganize research facilities, transform training and educational programs, and expand the cadre of young investigators. As Dean Spiegel enunciated in Einstein's Strategic Research Plan, “Translational research poses a great challenge to institutions everywhere seeking closer integration between basic and clinical research. The public expects that just as research over the past decades has improved human health and led to such ‘medical miracles’ as organ transplantation, so translational research in the genome era will fundamentally change the way medicine is practiced.”
