Welcome to ITS

The Institute for Translational Sciences (ITS) is a newly created institute whose broad goal is to enhance the scope of translational research at UTMB and its neighboring institutions. We are in an exciting phase of growth in translational sciences and have unique opportunities in post-genomic sciences through strengths in proteomics and new expansion in bioinformatics. The ITS will enable the university to achieve its strategic commitment to translational science.

Through its Clinical and Translational Science Award, the ITS seeks to facilitate translational research as a rigorous discipline, develop translational research training programs at all levels in the graduate continuum, effectively conduct and bridge step 1 translational research to steps 2 and 3, and interface productively with the national CTSA consortium. In particular, this CTSA will help UTMB to build teams of researchers with diverse skills who can work effectively toward positive health outcomes. These teams will also serve as exemplary learning environments for the next generation of translational investigators. Training activities include a Clinical and Translational Scholars program, an Academy of Mentors, a seminar series and team training workshops.

For investigators desiring to participate in translational research. You can phone us at x72872 (CTSA) or email us at CTSA@utmb.edu.
