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项目 转化免疫学。我们组建了一个由 22 名研究人员组成的团队，他们拥有高度活跃、资金充足、 和合作研究计划，以支持与转化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、癌症或相关的免疫学方面的活跃研究项目 传染病是本次培训补助金的主要主题。这些博士。和医生/科学家导师是 分布在医学院的各个学科和系，反映了广泛的适用性 免疫学贯穿整个医学领域，并高度致力于培养下一代科学家。这个 培训计划旨在填补当前研究生课程中未能充分培训个人的许多空白 将研究从实验室转移到临床。转化免疫学培训计划旨在增强 学员的研究经验，为他们提供促进健康的技能和经验 他们当前和未来研究的应用。每位学员将在实验室进行研究，重点关注 该计划的三个主题之一。为了补充密集的实验室研究，关键的独特元素 转化免疫学培训计划旨在让学员接触临床医学，促进 与临床医生互动，并了解患有免疫相关疾病的患者的健康需求。 该计划旨在为每个学生提供技能，以增强他们在以下领域追求职业的能力 直接旨在改善免疫相关疾病患者健康的研究/教育或 其他可能受益于免疫疗法的病症。我们通过我们的 生物医学科学项目是我们生物医学博士第一年的总括项目。程序，其中 大多数学生都有资格参加 T32 赞助的培训奖。因此，拟议的培训补助金 将为转化免疫学领域的高素质学生提供专门资金，这是一个战略领域 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.
