ATLANTIS Mentors | Emory School of Medicine

Mentored Research: Empowering Future Scientists

Pre- and post-doctoral trainees will be immersed in hands-on, original KUH research, under the mentorship of accomplished faculty members. This immersive experience serves a dual purpose: driving forward KUH's research initiatives and equipping trainees for their impending roles as PhD- or MD-scientists. This dynamic preparation encompasses not only academic research but also potential forays into entrepreneurial medical research. The symbiotic relationship between the trainees' contributions and the institution's research aspirations underscores the transformative power of mentorship and practical engagement. Ultimately, this training cultivates a pathway toward impactful careers enriched by academic rigor and innovative medical exploration.
