    For the first time in Washington, D.C., graduate students can take a course in Translational Biology, Medicine, and Health (TBMH). Taught by Laura Dillon, research associate professor at Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, the course leverages the university’s proximity to federal research agencies and combines expert-led lectures, hands-on laboratory and bioinformatics training, and case-based learning. Through workshops, sequencing experiments, and simulated patient cases, students learn how cancer genomics informs diagnosis, prognosis, therapy development, and regulatory decision-making, preparing them for careers across academia, industry, and government.
