All fellows pursue scholarly projects under the guidance of experienced and accomplished mentors in clinical, translational and basic research. The experience provides the fellow with lifelong skills in clinical investigation, molecular biology, developmental and cell biology, gene therapy, genomics, or transplant immunology that will be beneficial regardless of the ultimate career path chosen. Fellows who wish to pursue careers in clinical research may also take courses in clinical research methodology through the Mount Sinai Clinical Research Training Program which is supported by an NIH-funded K30 Clinical Research Curriculum Award. Over the past 10 years, our Fellows have published over 90 peer-reviewed publications and our recent graduates have been highly successful in competing for NIH mentored career physician scientist development awards (K08 and K23). Our success in training Fellows to become successful physician-investigators is rivaled by very few US programs.
