From the Scanner to the Clinic: Patient Oriented Research and Mentorship

这个K24职业生涯中期研究人员奖的总体目标是以患者为导向的研究，标题为 《临床扫描仪：以患者为中心的研究和指导》是为了让我(戴安娜·马丁内斯， MD)继续扩大我在物质使用方面的临床研究和指导方案线 精神障碍(SUD)。我之前的工作是使用正电子发射断层扫描(PET)来识别 南德药物开发的神经递质系统。最近，我搬进了更多 以临床为导向的研究，包括临床试验和经颅研究 磁刺激作为一种治疗成瘾的方法。这是我研究生涯中一个令人兴奋的新方向。 我职业生涯最近的变化还包括扮演更重要的导师角色。作为一名精神病学家 将她的职业生涯献给了神经科学研究，我处于一个独特的位置来提供建议和指导 临床训练有素的医生追求研究事业。这款K24将支持我目前的工作 并将帮助我开发新的指导机会。 指导计划强调与博士后实习生(精神病学研究员和住院医生)的努力 与不同发展水平的受训人员继续努力：博士前受训人员(医学 学生)和初级教职员工。这一奖项将为我未来的培训目标提供支持 临床调查员。

The overall aim of this K24 Mid-Career Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research entitled “From the Scanner to the Clinic: Patient Oriented Research and Mentorship” is to allow me (Diana Martinez, MD) to continue to expand my programmatic line of clinical research and mentoring in substance use disorders (SUD). My work has previously on using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to identify neurotransmitter systems for medication development in SUD. More recently, I have moved into more clinically oriented research studies, including a clinical trial and a study investigating transcranial magnetic stimulation as a treatment in addiction. This is an exciting new direction in my research career. Recent changes to my career also include a greater role as a mentor. As a psychiatrist who has dedicated her career to neuroscience research, I am in a unique position to provide advice and guidance to clinically trained physicians pursuing careers in research. This K24 will support my current work with mentees and will help me to develop new mentorship opportunities. The Mentoring Plan emphasizes efforts with post-doctoral trainees (psychiatric fellows and residents) and continuation of efforts with trainees at various levels of development: pre-doctoral trainees (medical students), and junior faculty. This award would provide support towards my goal of training of future clinical investigators.
