American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) Translational Science Training Course

American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) Translational Science Training Course is organized by American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) and will be held from Jun 18 - 21, 2025 at Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States of America.

Description:
The ASTCT Translational Science Training Course is a program for young researchers and scientists involved in bench and translational science in the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cell therapy field. The course provides an opportunity for 9 scholars to work 1:1 with the course faculty through formal presentations and extensive follow-up dialogue and small-group discussion.

The development of each scholar’s specific aims page and chalk talk will be reviewed by peers and course faculty members with the common goal of refining research project into a “presentation ready” chalk talk. Throughout the course, our expert faculty will also share their experiences, career stories, and personal anecdotes.

Objectives and Curriculum:
The course was designed by the ASTCT Board of Directors in 2023 to fill an unmet gap within the Society to support our scientific community, specifically early stage bench researchers/scientists. The Translational Science Training Course was created to bridge these gaps and cultivate a more robust foundation for the future of scientific research and innovation. The course will feature a diverse range of didactic lectures, small group discussions, 1:1 time with statisticians, and career development advice sessions. Topics discussed in the course include how to give a chalk talk, making a statistical argument, writing grants, getting published and more.
