The Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) held an all-day symposium entitled "Bridging the Translational Divides," which featured presentations and keynote speeches by invited national leaders in translational research and some of the leading faculty at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The ICTR will re-engineer clinical and translational research, reorganize research facilities, transform training and educational programs, and expand the pool of young investigators. The ICTR is jointly sponsored by Einstein and Montefiore Medical Center, The University Hospital and Academic Medical Center for Einstein.
