Training the Next Generation of Scholars in our Medical Research Programs
The field of reproductive biology is in dire need of bright, creative, and energetic new scholars who can propel medical research programs on the scientific underpinnings of reproductive development, reproductive physiology, and reproductive diseases. Magee Womens Research Institute provides a variety of medical research scholarships that creates unparalleled opportunities for research scientists in women’s and infants’ health research.
These scholars also need to capitalize on genomic, “postgenomic,” and informatics technologies to illuminate unsolved questions in basic, translational, and clinical women’s health sciences. As one of the largest academic institutions in our field, we strive to advance scientific discovery and translate the results of scientific research into knowledge pertinent to women’s health. We also seek to capture the imagination of young scholars with our medical research programs and train the next generation of researchers in the area of reproductive sciences and women’s health with our medical research scholarships.
