In collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), the Clinical and Translational Science Institute and the ICRE
provide a program for PhD students who are enrolled in CMU’s School of Computer Science and have an interest in
applying technology to the problems of health care.
The program consists of five courses (two or three of which can be used to fulfill CMU’s requirements for the PhD) and
a research project that is co-advised by a faculty member from the student’s home department at CMU and a clinical
researcher from the schools of the health sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. The program allows CMU students
to gain access to the courses in clinical and translational science and receive mentorship in this field. If they wish, they
can declare a concentration in health sciences within their PhD program.
