Faculty Workshop
Mentoring Biomedical PhD Students
Do you mentor PhD students? Are you aware that the NIH is requiring faculty to be trained in mentoring? To address this requirement, we are offering workshops for faculty in the biological sciences; each session will include new case studies. Attendees can cite this training and participation will make our programs more competitive for training grants and pre-doctoral fellowships. All faculty are invited and junior faculty are strongly encouraged to attend.
Thursday Sept 15, 2022

A fast, accurate, equipment-free diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants
A team of researchers from Princeton University and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have created an easy-to-use diagnostic test for COVID infection that is more sensitive than the commonly used at-home antigen tests, and that also allows for the rapid and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants in point-of-care settings.
This research was co-led by Cameron Myhrvold, assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton and a NJ ACTS Pilot award recipient. Dr. Myhrvold shared senior co-authorship on the publication in the May 30, 2022, Nature Biomedical Engineering.

Building Your Team Science Toolbox
Increasingly, the most impactful science is done on large, multi-disciplinary teams. But how well do we understand the factors that make research teams more – or less – effective? In this second, highly participatory installment of the Professional Development Roundtables offered by the Association for Clinical and Translational Science, we will address a series of questions related to team science, including the following:
- What specific competencies should scientists have to work well on teams?
- What collaboration challenges have you experienced and how might these competencies help to address them?
- How can we best assess and develop team science competencies?
September 21, 2022
2:00PM - 3:30PM
