Congratulations to MSCTI alum Bradley Gampel, MD on a career dedicated to advancing care for young patients with cancer.

Since graduating, Dr. Gampel completed a fellowship at Columbia in Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation, where he received the Metropolitan Award, presented annually to a fellow who demonstrates excellence in the field. He went on to complete a Pediatric Neuro-Oncology fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Dr. Gampel has now spent two and a half years at the University of Miami, where he serves as a Pediatric and Adolescent Young Adult Neuro-Oncologist leading the Pediatric and AYA Neuro-Oncology programs.

Congratulations, Dr. Gampel. We are proud to see the MSCTI reflected in the care you provide every day.

The MSCTI's newest cohort is almost here, and we could not be more excited!

This fall, we are welcoming a fantastic group of incoming students, including a post-baccalaureate scholar, a hospitalist, and two clinical research professionals, including one from right here at the University of Miami.

From the clinic to the classroom, this cohort brings exactly the kind of diverse experience and ambition that makes the MSCTI community so special. We cannot wait to introduce you to each of them.

Stay tuned. 👀

We are proud to spotlight Dr. Tulay Koru-Sengul, PhD, MHS, MA, Professor and Co-Director of the MSCTI program.

Dr. Koru-Sengul also serves as Director of the MS in Biostatistics, Co-Director of the MPH Biostatistics Concentration and Co-Leader of the MS in Public Health, bringing a breadth of expertise that spans research methodology, public health and translational science.

When asked what makes clinical and translational research especially impactful today, Dr. Koru-Sengul shared, "What really excites me is seeing ideas move beyond the lab and actually make a difference in people's lives. That is when science feels truly meaningful."

That spirit is at the heart of the MSCTI. We are grateful to have Dr. Koru-Sengul as a part of the team shaping the next generation of clinical and translational researchers.

Great question, and one we love to answer.

🔬The Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It provides services and expertise for researchers, clinical research professionals, scholars and communities across South Florida and beyond, advancing research, strengthening community partnerships and driving meaningful health improvements.

📚The M.S. in Clinical and Translational Investigation (MSCTI) is the CTSI's signature educational program. It is how the Miami CTSI fulfills its commitment to building a stronger research workforce, training the next generation of faculty, clinical research professionals and trainees at the University of Miami through a formal graduate degree.

In short, the CTSI powers the ecosystem. The MSCTI is how we bring the next generation of researchers into it!

From the MSCTI to the NIH, Dr. Antonello Pileggi is making an impact at the highest levels of biomedical research. 🚀

As a Health Scientist Administrator and Program Officer at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), Dr. Pileggi has helped shape federal research priorities across neonatal pharmacology, regenerative medicine and pediatric medical devices.

Most recently, he contributed to the NICHD Strategic Plan 2025-2030 and co-led the RADx Tech for Maternal Health Challenge, a federal initiative that awarded $8 million to accelerate health technologies for communities lacking access to maternity care.

This is translational science at scale. We are proud to call him an MSCTI alum.

The MSCTI is intended to be more than a degree. It is a career-defining experience.

We love hearing from our alumni! A big thanks to Diana Lopategui, MD, MS, for sharing about her time in the program.

Great research does not happen in a vacuum. Chapter 12 of CTI 605 explores how teams exist within larger systems of people, institutions and networks, and how understanding those connections is what separates good science from great science. Thanks to Ashley, Carla and Isabela for sharing!

Scroll to see the key takeaways. 👉

CTI 605 is a core requirement for all MSCTI students and is offered every fall. More insights from the course are coming soon. Stay tuned! 👀
