I feel the same way. I always loved basic research.

At the same time, I don't think that I'll have adequate training compared to an MD-PHD student.

Get a PhD to partner with. Phil Storm has a laboratory at CHOP with a PhD

That’s probably what it’ll come to. We have a PhD here that I work with, and he basically runs his own lab and then collaborates bench with human stuff from the attending. It’s a pretty powerful combo, and the benefits of it were pretty immediately apparent to me when I started working with them. Hopefully we can do o the same s

its possible
To name a few:
Bob carter at MGH
Eskander at MGH/UCSD
Brem at hopkins
Aghi at UCSF
Eddy Chang at UCSF
Curry at MGH

You still think Eskander moved to UCSD! Oh boy! They didn't take him 3 years ago and has been in Bronx.
You mean Betty Tyler's lab at Hopkins? Because she has been running the lab since she was a tech.
