Dolce Tarrytown House
Tarrytown, New York
The 2004-2005 class of Clinical Research Fellows met at Tarrytown House in New York’s historic Hudson River valley over three days in early June for the culminating activity of their fellowship experience.
Eighty-one fellows gathered with program leaders and administrators to present their research and to hear talks from other members of the Doris Duke Medical Research Program family, including Helen Hobbs, M.D., Professor of Internal Medicine and Molecular Genetics at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and member of the Medical Research Program’s Scientific Advisory Council. Dr. Hobbs spoke about her career path and provided insight to the next generation of researchers.
Other speakers included Philip Rosenthal, M.D. Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and Distinguished Clinical Scientist Awardee, who led a discussion on the challenges of conducting international clinical research, and Donald Landry, M.D. program leader from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons who gave a provocative talk on “Embryonic Death and the Creation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells.”
