The faculty will consist of 10 of the most highly valued thought leaders in the world. The ability of young investigators with promise to interact with this facultyin a setting of both didactic and interactive workshops has been and will continue to be seminal experience, leading to a further commitment on the part of these fellows to train in this discipline.
