It Takes a Team to Make Team Science a Success: Career Development within Multicenter Networks

Physician-scientists play an essential role in the translation of basic laboratory discoveries into novel therapies to improve outcomes of disease, yet the “vanishing physician-scientist” remains a problem.1 Successes in advancing outcomes of children with complex diseases are often limited by the lack of expertise in moving basic science to the bedside, especially in the setting of rare disorders, with small patient numbers at each center. Diverse teams in which physician scientists collaborate with individuals with a variety of research methods expertise are necessary to translate discovery into new diagnostics and therapeutics.
