Connecting to the Medical School

Three new sections have been established within Alpert Medical School:

• Medical Education
  All medical education activities will be consolidated into one cohesive academic unit. The section will launch new master’s programs, and will restore and grow Brown’s MD/PhD program.
• Human Genetics, Genomics, and Personalized Medicine
  Human genetics has become a fundamental aspect of modern biomedical research. The section will build expertise in diseases, applied approaches, and algorithms, statistics, and quantitative methodologies for genetic analysis.
• Translational Medicine
  This section brings together physicians and scientists who are focused on pursuing new lines of translational research to increase our understanding of disease and create new therapies.
