Participating Faculty
Faculty members who are affiliated with biomedical graduate training as physicians and scientists throughout the large medical and research community of New York University hold appointments in a wide range of clinical or basic science departments.
Of these, about 100 are currently participating as faculty mentors for the MSTP. Eligible faculty mentors are associated with the School of Medicine, the Sackler Institute of Biomedical Sciences, a division of the NYU Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and many other departments and research centers throughout the main campus at Washington Square. Faculty members designated as participants in the MSTP provide training and mentorship to our MD/PhD students and students may choose to work with any eligible faculty members in their research laboratories.
