Physician-scientists possess the ability to transform patient-inspired clinical needs into the healthcare of tomorrow. “These are the people who turn questions at the bedside into the breakthroughs that change medicine,” said Dr. Geraldine B. McGinty, executive vice dean of Weill Cornell Medicine. Yet, their ability to combine their skills in clinical medicine and scientific discovery to bring things from the bedside to the bench and back with a sustained degree of focus and intentionality remains an ongoing challenge.
To help solve this challenge and support outstanding physician-scientist faculty who have successfully launched independent funded research programs, Weill Cornell Medicine has launched the Weill Cornell Physician-Scientist Incubator Initiative.
