Translational Research Groups

The Translational Research Groups (TRGs) are designed to enhance translational research and collaborations across basic and clinical areas to better fulfill the translational research mission of Roswell Park. Each TRG is comprised of a multidisciplinary group of clinicians, scientists, pathologists, biostatisticians, bioinformaticians, allied health personnel and CRS clinical research coordinators and regulatory research associates assigned to a disease type, spectrum of diseases, or common translational science interest. Membership allows clinicians and investigators to participate in TRGs where they may have, or wish to develop an interest.
