Training the next generation of pulmonary scientists is essential for advancing respiratory health through research, education, and clinical care.

By investing in talent, the LHC ensures a sustainable pipeline of skilled investigators who will continue to make meaningful contributions to the field for years to come. Training the next generation of scientists also fosters collaboration, builds leadership capacity, and helps address disparities in lung diseases.

Training Program in Lung Biology & Translational Medicine

The UAB Training Program in Lung Biology and Translational Medicine supports 2-3 years of structured and rigorous research training for M.D. or Ph.D. postdoctoral fellows. Strong emphasis is placed on the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities. The program provides multidisciplinary training in a stimulating and collaborative environment that nurtures the development of highly competent and innovative biomedical research scientists. The training is fostered by 36 faculty mentors who hold primary appointments in 9 UAB Departments.
