Welcome to The Center for Translational
Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University
Housed within the Department
of Medicine
1025 Walnut Street, 3rd and 4th floors
Philadelphia PA 19107
Bringing discoveries from the laboratory bench to the patient's
bedside
 The Center for Translational Medicine aims to bridge basic scientific
discoveries with physicians' needs for their patients. At the forefront
of academic health care, the Center focuses on cutting-edge basic
molecular biomedical research and its translation into the most
efficient and tailored forms of diagnosis and treatment as well
as modes of prevention.
The Center for Translational Medicine is the focal point for research
in the Department of Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University. The
Center relies on Jefferson clinicians as a source of patients and
information and shares findings with the Department of Medicine,
who handles related clinical trials. The Center in turn collaborates
in these trials, and with the Office of Technology
Transfer.
Many faculty members at the Center are also joint faculty with
the department of physiology. However, their primary focus is research;
educational responsibilities are achieved through research teams
of fellows, residents, and medical students.
Mission: The goal of the Center is to carry out cutting-edge
basic and clinical research that will ultimately be translated into
improved patient care.
