This post-doctoral fellowship program is designed to provide a rich environment of strong science and outstanding mentorship in which junior scientists, particularly dermatologist-scientists, can learn to be independent researchers with a focus on cutaneous biology. We have assembled a team of Primary Mentors (noted scientists focused on cutaneous biology who serve as the main laboratory mentors) and other top Northwestern faculty with cutting-edge skills and recognized mentoring skills (Resource Faculty) who together serve as the 4-5 member mentor team for each trainee. While several of our senior Mentors are from the Department of Dermatology, others who perform cutaneous research have a primary appointment in other departments (Biomedical Engineering, Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Material Science and Engineering, Medicine/ Allergy-Immunology, Pulmonary and Critical Care, and Rheumatology, Microbiology and Immunology, Molecular Biosciences, Pathology). Six major areas of research concentration are available to trainees: (i) Bioengineering and nanotechnology; (ii) Epithelial-mesenchymal communication and epithelial differentiation; (iii) Genomics/epigenomics; (iv) Immunology; (v) Metabolism; and (vi) Wound healing/skin regeneration. In addition to “in lab training”, a major focal point of the program centers in educational enrichment activities. Trainees attend and participate in a wide variety of seminars that dove-tail with the six areas of research focus, as well as the “Bench to Bedside” lecture series, journal clubs, laboratory “Works in Progress” meetings, and the Grand Rounds lecture series organized through the Department of Dermatology. We also have a unique “Road to Translational Research” mentoring team, which enables all trainees to become familiar with the process of moving forward in translational research. Critical thinking, writing and presentation skills, the peer-review process, and the responsible conduct of research, in addition to general and specialized instruction in laboratory techniques, are learned through determination of a well-conceived research problem, frequent reviews with the Primary Mentor and Mentoring Team, and participation in formal didactics and seminars. Training sites provide state-of-the-art resources and facilities within individual laboratories and shared resources, including the Skin Disease Research Center (SDRC). Our first priority has been to enroll physician/scientists who hold either an M.D./Ph.D. or an M.D. degree and have completed their residency in dermatology. We have also considered Ph.D. scientists. Candidates are selected to include only those with outstanding academic records, who show considerable interest and commitment to cutaneous research and a desire to continue in academic dermatology. Given the sustained strengthening of the Department of Dermatology, including the renewed funding of our SDRC and a dramatic increase in dermatology residents with M.D./Ph.D. degrees, continued formal support of our Post Graduate Training Program in Cutaneous Biology is warranted.

该博士后奖学金计划旨在提供一个充满强大科学和知识的丰富环境。 杰出的指导，使初级科学家，特别是皮肤科医生科学家能够学习如何成为 专注于皮肤生物学的独立研究人员。我们组建了一支主要导师团队 （专注于皮肤生物学的著名科学家担任主要实验室导师）和其他顶尖科学家 西北大学拥有尖端技能和公认的指导技能（资源教师）的教师 作为每位学员的4-5人导师团队。虽然我们的几位高级导师来自 皮肤科，其他进行皮肤研究的人在其他部门有主要任命 系（生物医学工程、细胞与分子生物学、化学、材料科学和 工程学、医学/过敏免疫学、肺科和重症监护、风湿病学、微生物学 和免疫学、分子生物科学、病理学）。提供六大研究重点领域 给学员： (i) 生物工程和纳米技术； (ii) 上皮间质通讯和上皮细胞 差异化； (iii) 基因组学/表观基因组学； (四) 免疫学； (v) 新陈代谢； (vi) 伤口愈合/皮肤 再生。除了“实验室培训”之外，该计划的一个主要重点是教育 丰富活动。学员参加并参加与六大主题相吻合的各种研讨会 研究重点领域，以及“从实验室到临床”系列讲座、期刊俱乐部、实验室“工作” Progress”会议以及通过皮肤科组织的大查房系列讲座。 我们还拥有独特的“转化研究之路”指导团队，使所有学员能够 熟悉转化研究的进展过程。批判性思维、写作和 除了一般要求外，演讲技巧、同行评审过程以及负责任的研究行为 和实验室技术的专门指导，是通过确定一个周密的计划来学习的 研究问题、与主要导师和指导团队的频繁审查以及参与正式的 教学法和研讨会。培训地点提供最先进的资源和设施 实验室和共享资源，包括皮肤病研究中心 (SDRC)。我们的首要任务是 招募拥有医学博士/博士学位的医生/科学家。或医学博士学位并已完成学业 皮肤科住院医师实习。我们还考虑过博士学位。科学家。选择的候选人仅包括 那些具有杰出学术记录，对皮肤表现出极大兴趣和承诺的人 研究和继续从事皮肤病学学术研究的愿望。鉴于持续加强 皮肤科，包括我们的 SDRC 的新资助和急剧增加的 拥有医学博士/博士学位的皮肤科住院医师学位，对我们的研究生培训的持续正式支持 皮肤生物学课程是有必要的。
