Medical College of Georgia Discovery Institutes are multidisciplinary model to speed
translational research
麻豆果冻传媒's Medical College of Georgia aims to create more of those 鈥渕agic
moments鈥 through the Discovery Institutes initiative, a program aimed at speeding
up the process of turning research breakthroughs into medical treatments.
The James and Jean Culver Vision Discovery Institute addresses specific health issues
facing Georgians and is line with one of the Medical College of Georgia鈥檚 thematic
research priorities: Vision Science. It operates under a formal structure that encourages
researchers and clinicians to collaborate on translational research.
The Georgia Cancer Center, though not formally a part of the Discovery Institutes
initiative, fills the role of a 鈥淐ancer Discovery Institute鈥 because it follows the
multidisciplinary, translational-focused clinical research model used by the National
Institutes of Health鈥檚 National Cancer Institutes.
