Center for Cellular Metabolism Research in Oklahoma

细胞代谢的改变导致许多常见疾病的发病，如心血管疾病。 疾病、癌症、糖尿病和自身免疫性疾病，这些疾病在俄克拉何马州很普遍。然而，新陈代谢- 俄克拉荷马州目前相关研究资源和基础设施不足且分散。致信地址 这些缺陷，俄克拉荷马州细胞代谢研究中心(CMRO)第一阶段科布雷将 在俄克拉荷马州创造和培育卓越的细胞新陈代谢。CMRO位于俄克拉何马州 医学研究基金会(OMRF)，领先的生物医学研究机构。CMRO的中心焦点 是支持五个新的助理成员级教员(相当于一个 研究型大学)担任三个不同OMRF研究项目的项目负责人：心血管生物学 (CVB)、衰老与代谢(AM)和关节炎与临床免疫学(ACI)。这些新的初级调查员 扩大和统一细胞代谢研究的基础。他们将收到适当的 来自经验丰富和有竞争力的科学家的多学科指导的水平和形式。CMRO眼镜蛇 旨在培养一批足够多的研究人员，他们可以获得外部资金来支持他们的研究，同时 为持续的竞争性研究创造一个新的、令人兴奋的、多学科的和协作的环境 俄克拉荷马州的细胞新陈代谢将通过五个目标来实现：1)支持五个有前途的年轻人 项目负责人通过将细胞代谢研究整合到他们的实验室中来实现科学独立；2) 通过指导初级项目促进关注细胞新陈代谢的新的多学科研究 来自三个不同OMRF研究项目的领导；3)通过Core整合现有资源和新资源 支持细胞代谢研究的设施；4)促进支持成功和 发展一个独立的可持续发展的中心。Cobre的支持对于创建一个新的、 细胞代谢研究的多学科和协作环境 俄克拉荷马州。

Altered cellular metabolism contributes to the pathogenesis of many common diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders, which are prevalent in Oklahoma. However, metabolism- related research resources and infrastructure are currently insufficient and scattered in Oklahoma. To address these deficiencies, this Center for Cellular Metabolism Research in Oklahoma (CMRO) Phase I COBRE will create and nurture excellence in cellular metabolism in Oklahoma. The CMRO is located at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), a leading biomedical research institute. The central focus of the CMRO is to support five new Assistant Member-level faculty (equivalent to tenure-track Assistant Professor at a Research University) as Project Leaders from three different OMRF Research Programs: Cardiovascular Biology (CVB), Aging & Metabolism (AM), and Arthritis & Clinical Immunology (ACI). These new junior investigators are the foundation for expansion and unification of cellular metabolism research. They will receive an appropriate level and form of multidisciplinary mentoring from experienced and competitive scientists. The CMRO COBRE aims to develop a critical mass of investigators who can secure external funding to support their research while creating a new, exciting, multidisciplinary, and collaborative environment for sustained competitive research on cellular metabolism in Oklahoma, which will be achieved through five Aims: 1) Support five promising young Project Leaders to scientific independence through incorporation of cellular metabolism research in their labs; 2) Promote novel multidisciplinary research focusing on cellular metabolism through mentoring the junior Project Leaders from three different OMRF Research Programs; 3) Integrate existing and new resources through Core facilities that support cellular metabolism research; 4) Promote an environment that supports the success and development of an independent sustainable center. The COBRE support will be critical to create a new, multidisciplinary and collaborative environment for sustained competitive research on cellular metabolism in Oklahoma.
