    About the Biomedical and Translational Sciences The mission of the Department of Biomedical and Translational Sciences, established in 2026, is to: Conduct cutting-edge basic & translational science research and innovative teaching & mentoring to advance education and discovery in veterinary and human medicine in an inclusive community.

Each of these individual departments were similarly conceived in 1998 as mergers of Anatomy, Physiology, and part of Pathology (BMS) and Pharmacology and Pathology (MolMed). Since that time, both BMS and MolMed have emerged as leading departments at Cornell in terms of animal resources and education, teaching and course development, academic coaching, college and university level administrative leadership, center directorship, federal and non-federal grant funding, basic science research output, and translational/clinical discovery. The new Department of Biomedical and Translational Sciences will continue to advance the mission priorities of Education, Discovery and Care within the College of Veterinary Medicine.
