Abstract We propose a new interdisciplinary skin biology training program at the University of California, Irvine. The Program builds on a strong group of skin biology mentors affiliated with a NIAMS-funded Skin Biology and Disease Research Core Center (UCI Skin). The goal is to develop skin biologists that will be highly skilled in integrating bioengineering, including imaging, and computation into their research to make discoveries in skin biology. The four trainees will be a mixture of graduate students (three slots), including MD-PhD students, and postdoctoral fellows (one slot), including dermatology residents pursuing postgraduate research training. The mentors include several investigators whose work focuses on skin biology and collaborating investigators from other scientific disciplines. Each trainee–irrespective of whether the primary mentor is a skin biologist or from an allied field–will pursue an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of skin biology and one of two cross-disciplines: systems biology or bioengineering/imaging. In their research activities, the trainees will be guided through dual mentoring by a skin biologist and a mentor from a complementary field. In addition to laboratory-based research training, the program includes lectures in skin biology and skin diseases, a weekly Skin Club for data presentations, seminar series, retreats and a yearly symposium. The program also offers a menu of career development activities that can be individually tailored to each trainee based on their interests and career goals.

摘要 我们建议在加州大学开设一个新的跨学科皮肤生物学培训项目， 欧文该计划建立在一个强大的皮肤生物学导师小组附属于NIAMS资助的 皮肤生物学和疾病研究核心中心（UCI皮肤）。目标是培养皮肤生物学家 他们将非常熟练地将生物工程，包括成像和计算整合到他们的 研究皮肤生物学的发现。这四名学员将是一个混合的毕业生 学生（三个插槽），包括MD-博士生，和博士后研究员（一个插槽），包括 皮肤科住院医师攻读研究生研究培训。导师包括几位 研究人员的工作重点是皮肤生物学和合作研究人员从其他科学 学科每个受训者-无论主要导师是皮肤生物学家还是来自 联盟领域-将追求在皮肤生物学和两个交叉点之一的跨学科项目 交叉学科：系统生物学或生物工程/成像。在研究活动中， 学员将通过一名皮肤生物学家和一名来自 互补场除了以实验室为基础的研究培训外，该计划还包括讲座 在皮肤生物学和皮肤疾病领域，每周举办皮肤俱乐部，进行数据演示、系列研讨会和静修 每年的研讨会。该计划还提供了职业发展活动的菜单，可以 根据学员的兴趣和职业目标为他们量身定制。
