Predoctoral Training in Translational Immunology

迈阿密大学米勒医学院正在开发一个新的博士前培训计划， 转化免疫学我们召集了一个由22名研究人员组成的小组，他们非常活跃，资金充足， 和合作研究计划，以支持国家的最先进的培训，在不同的主题有关的翻译 免疫学所有导师都有与自身免疫，癌症或免疫学相关的积极研究计划。 传染病，这一培训补助金的主要主题。这些博士医生/科学家导师 分布在医学院的学科和部门，反映了广泛的适用性， 免疫学贯穿整个医学，并高度致力于培养下一代科学家。这 培训计划旨在填补目前研究生课程中的许多空白，这些空白不能充分培训个人 将研究从实验室转移到临床翻译免疫学培训计划旨在提高 通过为学员提供技能和经验，促进健康， 他们目前和未来的研究应用。每个学员将在实验室进行研究，重点是 是节目的三大主题之一。为了补充密集的实验室研究， 转化免疫学培训计划旨在使受训者接触临床医学，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，提高他们在职业生涯中追求职业的能力。 直接针对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疾病。我们招募优秀和多样化的学生通过我们的 生物医学科学课程，我们的生物医学博士的第一年伞计划。方案，其中 大部分学生都有资格参加T32赞助的培训奖励。因此，拟议的培训补助金 将为转化免疫学的高素质学生提供专项资金，这是一个战略性的领域。 对我们的医学院和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.
