ABSTRACT/SUMMARY
The Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics is the academic home for the CTSA in
Penn. For the past decade the specific aims of ITMAT have been and remain (i) to increase the
number of investigators capable of pursuing their research between proof of concept in cells
and model systems and (ii) elucidation of the mechanisms of human physiology, disease or
drug action through intense phenotyping in small numbers of people. The two priorities of our
CTSA are to foster the field of translational therapeutics and to bridge the pediatric to adult
divide across the entire spectrum of clinical and translational science. This section describes
how these priorities have influenced the growth of this CTSA Hub and outlines our plans for the
coming funding period.
