Research

MSRS 2022 Carol Dr. Steiner PaulRochester’s MSTP exists to train the next generation of physician scientists to use clinical observations to fuel research, and to translate that research back into clinical tools. The keystone of this approach is completion of a rigorous Ph.D. program in the student’s field of interest. MSTP students have a wide variety of research opportunities available, with numerous programs in basic, biomedical, translational and public health sciences throughout state-of-the-art facilities in the School of Medicine & Dentistry, Strong Memorial Hospital, the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center, the Arthur Kornberg Medical Research Building (KMRB), the Golisano Children's Hospital, the Saunders Research Building, and facilities that are part of the River Campus.

Tip: Due to the large number of departments, centers, and institutes, it is often easiest to search faculty through graduate program pages or by basic science department.
