Translational Advisory Board
The Translational Advisory Board (TAB) is made up of experts in regenerative medicine and clinical practice, entrepreneurs, industrial scientists, investors, and leading subject-matter experts in translation and commercialization. The TAB members serve as co-mentors to the trainees and participate in a monthly seminar series with the trainees, providing trainees continuous contact with these experts.
These TAB advisors enrich the training environment with translational and entrepreneurial skills that are not commonly found among leading academic scientists. TAB advisors provide active and engaged guidance in career survival skills, strategies for finding rewarding job opportunities, clinical needs, entrepreneurial activities, and the translation and commercialization pathway.
