The mission of the ATS Ph.D. and Basic and Translational Scientist Working Group is to advocate for science and discovery by promoting basic/translational research throughout all channels of the ATS.

We are committed to highlighting and supporting basic and translational scientists, with a particular focus on the unique perspectives and contributions of Ph.D. scientists, to enhance and promote the overall ATS mission, driving innovations in global health by advancing scientific discoveries, enhancing patient care, and strengthening public health via research of pulmonary disease, critical illness, and sleep disorders. Ph.D. and basic/translational scientists bring indispensable skill sets to tackle important scientific challenges, and are a critical component of the overarching ATS goals to further scientific discovery.
