Welcome to the new CTSI Website

Welcome Michael J. Dunn, MD

Michael J. Dunn, MD has joined the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) as the new director of the Translational Research Resources Office (TRRO) at MCW.  Dr. Dunn will guide the TRRO to become the source of support to individual investigators for assistance with clinical and translational research functions, such as IRB, IACUC or bio-safety applications, research design and development, grant writing, consultation on bioethics, research integrity, and conflict of interest, as well as access to key technologies and novel methods and techniques to accelerate clinical/translational project development.

Dr. Dunn has trained and mentored numerous residents, fellows, and postdoctoral fellows, many of whom still turn to Dr. Dunn for guidance in their research and career pursuits. In addition to providing the TRRO with daily oversight, Dr. Dunn will continue to mentor the new CTSI clinical investigators to help them develop their research careers and will guide more senior investigators in developing Program Project Grant type research programs.

As a driving force leading the movement toward clinical translational research, Dr Dunn has actively participated in developing the leadership team for the CTSI. His long established relationships with leaders at all levels at the CTSI partnering institutions will help to optimize the TRRO's primary charge of linking resources within and between the institutions. The members of the CTSI enthusiastically welcome Dr. Dunn in his new role as TRRO's director.

Welcome to CTSI

Welcome to the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) web site. We hope that the information provided in this venue is helpful for learning more about the transition of the GCRC to the Translational Research Units (TRU) as part of CTSI key functions.

This site is intended to provide a mechanism to foster research collaboration among faculty and provide insights as to how the CTSI can assist in the advancement of your clinical and translational research. Most importantly, we hope to learn through this medium about your ideas and suggestions on how to bring together the intellectual and technological assets of MCW and its partnering institutions to develop a borderless, innovative, and synergistic research environment conducive to the rapid translation of basic knowledge into clinical practice and patient care.

We look forward to your active involvement in this new and important endeavor. Remember to visit often - this site will continue to evolve along with the growth of the CTSI.

The Clinical and Translational Science Institute will continue to make improvements to the Web site to improve the site's usability and expand its content. If you have any comments, suggestions or corrections, please send them to:  ctsi@mcw.edu
