UR CTSI Population Health Postdoc Receives Award for Obesity Research
Congratulations to the UR CTSI’s first Population Health postdoctoral fellow, Ying Meng, Ph.D., R.N., on taking home the top award for a poster competition at the Obesity Society’s Annual Scientific Meeting in early November. Meng’s award-winning poster focused on how genes and diet work together to influence weight gain during pregnancy.
Strong Showing by CTSI-Affiliated Faculty, Staff, and Students at National Public Health Meeting
TL1 Training Program Director Tim Dye’s research group sent an unusually large delegation of its members to the American Public Health Association’s Annual Meeting and Expo last week. In all, 11 team members presented 18 oral or poster presentations.
New Opportunity for Postdoctoral Research in Population Health
The UR CTSI is implementing a new Population Health Research Postdoctoral Fellowship Program to produce population health researchers who can conceptualize research across the translational spectrum – from molecules to populations. Positions are open to scientists with backgrounds in basic, clinical, translational, or population health research.
