DIABETES AND ENDOCRINOLOGY RESEARCH CENTER

贝勒医学院建议建立一个糖尿病和 内分泌学研究中心协调和扩大其正在进行的 关于病因和治疗的基础和临床研究计划 糖尿病及其并发症和相关内分泌学的研究进展 条件。虽然已经有相当多的糖尿病相关研究活动 存在，激素放射免疫分析核心设施的建立， 分子内分泌学和组织培养将促进 调查人员之间的跨学科互动，并提高效率 而且性价比高。中心的存在和可获得性 这样的核心将为年轻的调查人员提供一个成为 参与糖尿病相关研究，并积累足够的数据 作为独立研究支持的基础。的资源 该中心还将促进吸引来自 其他领域与糖尿病相关的研究。除了核心之外 设施、一系列新举措以及试点和可行性项目 都被提出了。这些提案将调查基本问题 与糖尿病及其并发症的病因和性质有关 以及与糖尿病患者管理有关的方面。 基础和临床研究的整合和持续评估 中心的有效性将通过建立来实现 跨学科研讨会，介绍正在进行的研究和 内部和外部咨询委员会的定期审查。

Baylor College of Medicine proposes to establish a Diabetes and Endocrinology Research Center to coordinate and expand its ongoing programs of basic and clinical research concerning the cause and treatment of diabetes mellitus, its complications and related endocrinologic conditions. While considerable diabetes-related research activity already exists, the establishment of core facilities for hormone radioimmunoassay, molecular endocrinology and tissue culture will foster enhanced interdisciplinary interaction among investigators and be more efficient and cost-effective. The presence of the center and the availability of such cores will provide an opportunity for young investigators to become involved in diabetes-related research and accumulate sufficient data to serve as a basis for independent research support. The resources of the center will also facilitate attraction of established investigators from other areas into research related to diabetes. In addition to the core facilities, a series of new initiatives and pilot and feasibility projects are proposed. These proposals will investigate fundamental questions related to the cause and nature of diabetes mellitus and its complications as well as aspects concerned with the management of diabetic patients. The integration of basic and clinical research and continuing evaluation of the effectiveness of the center will be accomplished by establishment of interdisciplinary seminars, presentation of ongoing research and periodic reviews by both the Internal and External Advisory Committees.
