Overview

The Translational Science program at The University of Texas at San Antonio prepares the next generation of scientists to lead the multi-disciplinary biomedical research teams of the future in increasingly complex research environments. These scientists advance knowledge toward the goal of translating basic biomedical scientific discoveries into strategies that will improve healthcare delivery, patient outcomes, and community health.

Key elements in the translational science process are:

Applying scientific discoveries in the lab or at the bedside in ways that are more efficient and effective
Shortening the time between scientific discovery and application.

In line with a field of science that emphasizes multi-disciplinary, collaborative research, the doctoral program in Translational Science is offered as a multi-institutional joint degree program. The four University of Texas System universities partnering in this effort are:
