Translational Science 2013 — sponsored by the Association for Clinical Research Training, the American Federation for Medical Research, and the Society for Clinical and Translational Science — brings together all of the disciplines involved in clinical and translational research for the shared benefits of networking and education.
The meeting focuses on engagement opportunities with leaders and peers and messages from plenary speakers, including NCATS Director Christopher P. Austin, M.D. Educational sessions are designed to provide information on the latest translational science information. Attendees also will have time to collaborate and share information through poster presentations, mock study sections, advocacy training and published research. Trainees and young investigators will be able to gain visibility at the meeting.
