Educational Content
Community engagement in research provides an opportunity for greater trust and respect to be built between academic researchers and communities and, ultimately, improved community health. Therefore, this course was designed for both researchers and community members in mind. The purpose of this online course is two-fold: to build the skills of researchers to develop trusting relationships and
Fundamentals & Applications of Clinical and Translational Research (FaCToR) offers an overview of the concepts of clinical/translational research through the dynamic and interactive medium of online learning. As a selected participant of this online course, you will learn about the spectrum of clinical and translational research from first-in-human studies to healthcare interventions implemented
Community engagement in research creates trust between academic researchers and communities and, ultimately, improves community health. To bolster this partnership, Harvard Catalyst has created Community-Engaged Research, an online course designed for both researchers and community members running October 13-December 17. This course will help researchers like you build trusting relationships with

The Integrating CTS into the CTSA Virtual Visiting Scholar Program Working Group is pleased to announce a Grand Rounds Lecture. Please join us on May 3, 2023 at 5:00pm ET. Nicholas Bosch, MD, Assistant Professor, Pulmonary, Allergy, Sleep and Critical Care, Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center Medicine, will present: Leveraging Observational Data
Opportunities
The Harvard Chan Bioinformatics Core is excited to expand our bioinformatics training program as part of a new collaboration with the Dana-Farber / Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC). We are looking for a bioinformatician to join our team in our efforts to provide education and analytical support to the Harvard community. The ideal candidate is enthusiastic about teaching (as demonstrated by their teaching experience), enjoys working in a collaborative environment, and has a background in high-throughput data analysis, specifically for next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. This role provides a unique and rewarding opportunity to train and support world-class researchers making a profound impact on human health.
Poster Sessions
Background: The inequities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic illustrated the critical need for development of mechanisms to serve as a bridge between community practitioners and academic researchers. Far too often, community practitioners are approached for feedback or involvement in research long after planning begins. This limits the impact that community-based insight and expertise can have
The global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 with the attendant morbidity and mortality requires urgent understanding of the natural course of COVID-19 and characterization of the factors of disease severity and poor outcomes. A significant source of data for COVID-19 research is patient data captured in electronic health records (EHRs). To leverage EHRs for COVID-19 research, the national Accrual to

The Virtual CTSA Visiting Scholar Program to Support Early-Stage Clinical and Translational Researchers: Implementation and Outcomes
In addition to restrictions on conducting research, COVID-19–related travel bans and scientific meeting cancellations have negatively affected scholars in the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Mentored Career Development Award (KL2) program. In response, a national virtual visiting
MR cell size imaging with temporal diffusion spectroscopy
Cytological features such as cell size and intracellular morphology provide fundamental information on cell status and hence may provide specific information on changes that arise within biological tissues. Such information is usually obtained by invasive biopsy in current clinical practice, which
Obtaining patient-derived cancer organoid cultures via fine-needle aspiration
Patient-derived tumor organoid cultures are an essential and innovative methodology for translational research. However, current techniques to establish these cultures are cumbersome, expensive, and often require irreplaceable clinical tissue from surgery or core biopsies. Fine-needle aspiration
