Jeilo Gauna
This certification is designed for research staff working within the Global Leukodystrophy Initiative – Clinical Trials Network (GLIA-CTN) who completed education and training through the one year Pre-Doc Preparatory Program (P3) in Translational Research offered by ITMAT Education at the University of Pennsylvania and the Leukodystrophy Center of Excellence (LCE) at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The program lays the foundation for understanding practical aspects of rare disease clinical research through asynchronous and synchronous learning environments. Research staff are introduced to clinical study design and execution, ethical considerations in clinical research, data management, the pre-clinical drug development process, and the regulatory environment. Scholars build and practice professional skills throughout the academic year through communication workshops, meet with advocacy group leaders, practice presenting their research in progress, and learn about career pathways through panel discussions. The content of the program includes seminars, case studies, presentations, journal article reviews, panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and scientific meetings.
