By etm18@dhe.duke.edu
Crystal Tyson, MD, a post-doctoral fellow in Nephrology, has been selected for PRIDE, Programs to Increase Diversity among Individuals Engaged in Health-Related Research. PRIDE is an National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-sponsored program to provide junior scientists, whose backgrounds are currently under-represented in biomedical research, with opportunities to gain the knowledge and tools they need to carry out independent and meaningful research and advance their careers.
Dr. Tyson was selected for the PRIDE program in cardiovascular-related research to help her develop, "multidisciplinary approaches to research in cardiovascular health disparities." She will attend a summer institute and receive two years of intensive didactic and mentored research training.
Tyson is the second member of the Department to participate in PRIDE. Leonor Crosino, MD, assistant professor of medicine, (Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Nutrition) is in her second year of the PRIDE program for mentoring researchers in Latino health disparities.
