Note: This Study Tour will last run in spring 2020.
Core Course Week, including short study tour, provides you with the opportunity to explore translational research approaches within Sweden, while furthering your understanding of the importance of multidisciplinary methodologies in the design and development of novel therapeutics and diagnostics. You will witness cutting-edge biomedical research by leaders in the field. By meeting with research and clinical scientists, visiting with various research institutions, and discussing translational medicine projects with Swedish university researchers, you will see how theories presented in the classroom connect with practices in the field.
