1. Update on imaging consultation requests
- There was no new consultations submitted through the Catalyst website this week
- Several members received informal consultations, they will transmit the info to Valerie who will enter them manually as soon as JIRA is launched
2. Mission statement
- The members agreed that the consultation service is only a small part of what the consortium is doing. We need to define more broadly what is our mission:
- Promote use and development of medical imaging technology towards understanding and curing of disease
- Reduce barriers to collaborations by enabling medical imaging data acquisition, sharing and management across individual investigators and organizations with dedicated hardware and software
- Provide leadership for the use of quantitative biomarkers in imaging
3. Update from the Catalyst Education committee
- Elliott Antman, MD is the new director of the Harvard Catalyst Program for Postgraduate Education in Clinical and Translational ScienceHarvard Catalyst Program for Postgraduate Education in Clinical and Translational Science. He will design and implement a comprehensive, integrated program of education, training, mentoring and career development for physicians, PhD scientists and other healthcare professionals involved in clinical and translational science. There will be the icreation of an introductory course in clinical investigator training and greater integration of the rich array of advanced educational resources at Harvard into a multi-tiered education and career development program. The new program for physician and scientist training will be widely available throughout Harvard Catalyst and, ideally, will become a national model for educating physicians and scientists to become translational and clinical investigators.
