Physician-Scientist Faculty Incubator Initiative

The Office of the Dean and Office of Faculty invite nominations for the Weill Cornell Physician-Scientist Faculty Incubator Initiative. With dual training in clinical medicine and scientific investigation, physician-scientists possess the ability to transform patient-inspired clinical needs into the healthcare of tomorrow. This program aims to support outstanding physician-scientist faculty who have successfully launched independent, extramurally funded research programs spanning the spectrum of translational research by providing the structure and stability needed to fully realize this role.

Eight big questions. Eight of our own.

Weill Cornell has launched a new program to support its physician-scientists. Meet the inaugural class.

Physician-scientists are the rare people who care for patients and run research labs at the same time. With our new Physician-Scientist Incubator Initiative, Weill Cornell is giving eight of them the time and the backing to go after what matters most, because the questions they're asking today become the breakthroughs we all count on tomorrow.

These are some of the most vital careers in medicine, and some of the hardest to sustain. Across the country, their numbers are shrinking. Weill Cornell is helping lead the national effort to turn that around, and these eight are at the forefront.
