A Changing of the Guard for UR CTSI Translational Biomedical Sciences PhD Program
Tim Dye, Ph.D., has stepped down as the director of the Translational Biomedical Science PhD program after a very successful five-year reign that dramatically improved the diversity of the program. Edwin van Wijngaarden, Ph.D., a highly experienced educator and mentor and the UR CTSI's strategic director of Research Education, has taken up the role of interim director.
