Translational Scholars

Huntsman Cancer Institute has established The Society of Huntsman Translational Scholars, an initiative that recognizes excellence in the discipline of translational science. Translational researchers extend basic discoveries made in the laboratory and apply them to solve clinical problems and benefit patients through new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Our Translational Scholars play a key role in mentoring the next generation of translational scientists and are happy to provide feedback/guidance on grant applications, clinical trial development, scientific presentations, and more.

“The Huntsman Translational Scholars is an initiative designed to recognize and advance the careers of exceptional scientists who are making strides in translational research.”
