Throughout the academic year in the Department, faculty, students, and collaborators meet to discuss various research projects in progress. These meetings, or working groups are great opportunities for students to sit in and participate in research discussions in the areas of clinical trials, statistical genetics, and observational studies. Students gain firsthand experience in developing research with faculty and Master and PhD level students. Additionally, there are opportunities for students to present on a developing research area. Students are encouraged to take attend and take advantage of these opportunities. Clinical Trials Working Group Meets: Alternating Tuesdays at 4:30pm in Crosstown 332, beginning Sept 6th Lead Faculty: Gheorghe Doros ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The goal is to get to know each other, learn cutting edge research, foster collaboration, and get help. The group brainstorms together in September to lay out the year-long topics of interest for discussion. At each session one person or a group of participants or an invited outside speaker presents (formally/informally) the material, usually pertaining to his or her area of expertise, interest or research and leads the discussion. Our participants include a mix of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics students, in addition to Faculty members involved in genetics research.
