Connecting to the Medical School
Three new sections have been established within Alpert Medical School:
- Medical Education
All medical education activities will be consolidated into one cohesive academic unit. The section will launch new master’s programs, and will restore and grow Brown’s MD/PhD program. - Human Genetics, Genomics, and Personalized Medicine
Human genetics has become a fundamental aspect of modern biomedical research. The section will build expertise in diseases, applied approaches, and algorithms, statistics, and quantitative methodologies for genetic analysis. - Translational Medicine
This section brings together physicians and scientists who are focused on pursuing new lines of translational research to increase our understanding of disease and create new therapies.
Connecting to Brown and Beyond
Paxson’s Building on Distinction was formulated with the express intent to unite expertise from across the University and its professional schools in solving problems that plague our society. The horizontally integrated research teams within BITS will do the same, and provide opportunities to connect the Division with experts in the:
- Brown School of Public Health
- School of Engineering
- Watson and Taubman Centers
- Applied Math Department
- Humanities
- Affiliated hospitals
