t’s a question on the minds of research scientists the world over: When is that ‘aha’ moment going to happen? When will the pieces fall into place, leading to a new discovery that changes how we understand the biology I of a human, treat disease, or care for patients? “The backbone of discovery science is still the lone investigator at 2 a.m. wondering what something means,” says UVM Professor of Medicine Richard Galbraith, M.D., Ph.D., associate dean of patient-oriented research. What has changed is how that person fits into the larger whole. Interdisciplinary teams that look at questions from different angles are becoming more and more vital to scientific inquiry, says Galbraith, who is also the director of the UVM Center for Clinical and Translational Science. And with technology — especially the power of computers to analyze vast quantities of data — transforming what is knowable, scientists must be grounded in their discipline while also understanding its relevance to other fields. To keep pace with this new reality, UVM and other institutions are re-thinking how they educate research scientists. Today, students entering a Ph.D. program affiliated with the College of Medicine choose from four programs that bring faculty together from multiple departments and colleges across the university — all under the administrative umbrella of Above, Associate Professor of Medicine Jeffrey Spees, Ph.D., left, advises Krithika Rao in Dr. Spees’ lab at the Colchester Research Facility. the UVM Graduate College. Several programs have been restructured and combined to give students exposure to a wider variety of research, while a few new programs — clinical and translational science, and bioengineering — have been created to address relatively new fields. In all of these programs, students conduct their Ph.D. research with mentors who
