Predoctoral Training in Translational Immunology

迈阿密大学米勒医学院正在开发一项新的博士前培训计划 翻译免疫学。我们已经组建了一个由22名研究人员组成的小组，他们非常活跃，资金充足， 和协作研究计划，支持与翻译相关的各种主题的最先进的培训 免疫学。所有导师都有与自身免疫、癌症或其他疾病相关的免疫学研究项目 传染病，这一培训补助金的主要主题。这些博士和内科医生/科学家导师 分布在医学院的各个学科和部门，反映了 贯穿整个医学的免疫学，并高度致力于培养下一代科学家。这 培训计划寻求填补当前研究生计划中的许多空白，这些空白没有对个人进行充分的培训 把研究从替补席搬到床边。翻译免疫学培训计划旨在加强 通过为学员提供促进健康的技能和经验，为学员提供研究经验 他们当前和未来研究的应用。每个受训者将在实验室进行研究，重点是 这是节目的三个主题之一。为了补充密集的工作台研究，关键的独特元素 翻译免疫学培训计划是为了让学员接触临床医学，促进 与临床医生的互动，并了解免疫相关疾病患者的健康需求。 该计划旨在为每个学生提供技能，以增强他们在 研究/教育直接面向改善免疫相关疾病患者的健康或 其他可能受益于免疫疗法的情况。我们通过我们的学校招收优秀和多样化的学生 生物医学科学课程，是我们生物医学博士课程的第一年总括课程，其中 大多数学生都有资格参加T32赞助的培训奖项。因此，这项拟议的培训补助金 将为翻译免疫学这一战略领域的高水平学生提供专项资金 对我们医学院和NIAID的重要性。

The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is developing a new pre-doctoral training program in translational immunology. We have assembled a group of 22 researchers that have highly active, well-funded, and collaborative research programs to support state-of-the-art training in diverse topics related to translational immunology. All mentors have active research programs in immunology related to autoimmunity, cancer, or infectious diseases, major themes of this training grant. These Ph.D. and physician/scientist mentors are distributed across disciplines and Departments at the School of Medicine, reflecting the wide applicability of immunology throughout medicine, and are highly committed to training the next generation of scientists. This training program seeks to fill many gaps in current graduate programs that do not adequately train individuals to move research from bench to bedside. The Translational Immunology Training Program aims to enhance the trainees' research experience by providing them with skills and experiences to advance the health applications of their current and future research. Each trainee will perform research in a laboratory focusing on one of the three themes of the program. To complement the intensive bench research, key unique elements of the Translational Immunology Training Program are to expose the trainees to clinical medicine, to promote interactions with clinicians, and to understand the health needs of patients with immune-related conditions. This program is designed to provide each student with skills that will enhance their ability to pursue careers in research/education that are directly geared at improving the health of patients with immune-related diseases or other conditions that might benefit by immunotherapy. We recruit excellent and diverse students through our Programs in Biomedical Sciences, a first-year umbrella program for our biomedical Ph.D. programs, where most students are eligible to participate in a T32 sponsored training award. Thus, this proposed training grant will provide dedicated funding for highly qualified students in translational Immunology, an area of strategic importance to our School of Medicine and NIAID.
