Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A physician-scientist is traditionally a holder of a medical degree and a Doctor of Philosophy, also known as an MD-PhD. Compared to other clinicians, physician-scientists invest significant time and professional effort in scientific research and spend correspondingly less time in direct clinical practice, with ratios of research to clinical time ranging from 50/50 to 80/20. As physician-scientists, going back and forth between medicine and science is natural and almost necessary. Physician-scientists are often employed by academic or research institutions where they drive innovation across a wide range of medical specialties and may also use their extensive training to focus their clinical practices on specialized patient populations, such as those with rare genetic diseases or cancers. Here, we provide a platform of the state of the art of cell biology for physician-scientists to display their research results and promote communication in this field.
