| The
training faculty have been selected on the basis of their research
expertise, proven ability and willingness to engage in collaborative
interdisciplinary work, their national and international scientific
reputations, their proven ability to attract continuing external research
support, and their established records of didactic and research training
in at least one of the two focused areas of research training for
this program.
The overall balance of the faculty in terms of interests, age,
and rank is relatively senior compared to the typical Harvard Medical
School (HMS) and MIT academic environments. Of the eleven active
trainers, ten are professors at HMS or MIT, of which five currently
hold or have held endowed professorships. Five are clinician scientists
and six are full-time scientists or engineers. Two of the active
trainers are surgeons and the other clinical scientists include
two internists, a specialist in nuclear medicine, and an anesthesiologist.
Ten faculty members are primarily at the MGH (two have official
secondary appointments at MIT) and one is at MIT with substantial
commitments at the MGH. All faculty members have state-of- the-art
research facilities in the areas of their expertise and their individual
research programs are satisfactorily supported by outside funding.
Thus, trainees are assured of their stipends, tuition, and overall
laboratory support during the concluding years of advanced degree
research.
