Mentor Advisory Group

Meet the Pathway Mentor Advisory Group

Pathway scientists will be selected by a Mentor Advisory Group—an assemblage of eminent scientists from diabetes research and other fields who personify the core elements needed for exceptional science: rigorous thought processes, keen intellect, and the capacity for innovation, creativity, and productivity. 

In addition to the selection process, the Mentors/Advisors will provide ongoing scientific and career advice to Pathway scientists throughout the duration of the awards.
