Inaugural Kantoff-Sang Lecture draws leaders to discuss Harvard’s approach to the evolving challenges of clinical and translational research education
The pace of discovery in the life sciences is breathtaking. Our understanding of human genetics, as well as the chemical and physical interactions of single molecules within cells, has advanced according to Moore’s Law.
