Rochester Clinical & Translational Research Curriculum Seminar Series
The Clinical & Translational Science Institute has planned an exciting series of lectures focusing on "The URMC Strategic Plan." The seminar series kicked off last fall with a presentation by URMC Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Bradford Berk, who provided an overview of the plan and its components. Subsequently, each of the five Integrated Disease Programs and four Innovative Science Programs presented on their role in the strategic plan and their research activities. These seminars are held each Tuesday from 12:00pm-1:00pm during the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 semesters.
