Primary mission: To promote the development of a diverse, translational research workforce to execute cross-disciplinary team science relevant for the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease and AD-related dementias. The trainee will pursue a 2-year personalized training that builds on their current research strengths and expands their knowledge of neuroimaging principles and AD research applications that includes one or more key areas:

[1] biology of aging and neurodegeneration; 

[2] data sciences, computational biology, statistics, math/engineering/physics;  

[3] drug discovery and development 

Eligibility: PhD, MD, MD/PhD and U.S. citizen or permanent resident (NIH PAR-18-524). Our goal is to recruit a truly diverse T32 trainee pool that is highly representative of groups that are underrepresented in medicine and/or women. 

Submit questions to Krystal Whitfield : T32ADRD@mgh.harvard.edu.

Equity and Community Health: Front and Centered

Featuring Efren Flores, MD and Gladys Pachas, MD

ALL ARE WELCOME!

How are we reaching our diverse communities with important health information in a way that is meaningful and relevant in their daily lives? 

Two of Equity & Community Health’s medical liaisons - Drs. Efren Flores and Gladys Pachas - along with Natalie Johnson, Equity & Community Health Administrative Director, will go Front and Centered on August 25th at noon as we talk about the work of our medical liaisons and the partnerships fostered with multicultural media outlets. From a dedicated segment on Java with Jimmy to weekly spots on El Mundo’s La Hora del Café to having a presence at community events with the mobile van, our medical liaisons will share their experiences with multi-cultural, multi-lingual outreach and the impact it has had in our communities.

Bring your questions, comments, and expertise for this lunchtime half hour event. We will have a Q&A at the end, and if you'd like to submit a question beforehand, please send to PCHARLOT@mgh.harvard.edu.

We'd love to hear from you, and we hope to see you there!
