The Molecular Medicine PhD Program is a unique collaborative graduate training opportunity that integrates medical knowledge into graduate training. Every autumn, Lerner Research Institute holds the annual showcase event to celebrate the PhD students and their research.
This year, Dr. Erzurum kicked off the event by commenting on how proud she is of the students’ hard work and efforts to make a difference in patient care. Fifth year students gave oral presentations, while the rest of the program presented posters. Postdoctoral fellows from Lerner served as poster judges. At the end of the event, Dr. Jonathan Smith, program director, distributed awards to the students in each class who had the best poster and oral presentation.
The goal of the showcase event is to display the exciting translational research being conducted by PhD students and how it can lead to new understanding of disease, medications and therapies. The following students received the 2019 showcase awards:
Students accepted into the Molecular Medicine PhD Program pay no tuition, receive a competitive stipend while they are enrolled and receive core textbooks and a laptop computer.
