RESEARCH TRAINING IN DENTAL MATERIALS SCIENCE

该培训计划的目的是提供以下方面的研究培训： 牙科材料科学的八名学员希望发展终身 从事牙科材料研究。 生物材料部 将提供教学和研究经验，允许合格的预- 博士和博士后学员攻读硕士学位，和博士度 或接受非学位博士后研究培训。 虽然实习生 约会.将优先考虑牙医，传统工程 将包括博士前和博士后学员。 NIDR培训计划，该计划已在该司存在了19年。 在其目前的形式年，将强调现代概念的应用 的材料。 此外，生物相容性原则， 材料/组织/细胞界面，以及牙科和 医疗物资装备也将是一个组成部分， 程序. 教学工作将提供给学员在一个已经建立的一套 定期举办的课程和研讨会， 西北大学毕业生认可的高级学位 学校，并由三位博士任教。教授和两名临床助理 生物材料系的教授。 学员们将 他们的课程和执行他们的研究沿着与其他学生在 有其他支持手段的人。 这使得有意义的 牙科合格学员与工程师之间的互动 和生物科学专业。 此外，受训人员还受益于 通过同伴辅助与已经在场的学生互动 学习（PAL）。 额外的教学工作将提供给所有学生 大学内其他部门，包括 材料科学化学，计算机科学，生物医学工程，口腔 病理学和口腔生物学。 研究主要在该司的实验室进行， 现代先进的设备，用于超微结构、腐蚀、机械 特性、细胞培养、流变学、光谱分析和标本 捏造 其他设备通过合作协议提供 与材料研究中心和康复工程 大学的中心。

The purpose of this training program is to provide research training in dental materials science to eight trainees desiring to develop lifetime careers in dental materials research. The Division of Biological Materials will offer both didactic and research experiences, allowing qualified pre- doctoral and post-doctoral trainees to pursue both M.S., and Ph.D. degrees or to receive non-degree post-doctoral research training. Although trainee appointments. will given priority to dentists, traditional engineering predoctoral and post-doctoral trainees will be included. The NIDR training program, which has existed in the Division for nineteen years in its present form, will stress the application of modern concepts of materials. In addition, principles of biocompatibility, materials/tissue/ cellular interfaces, and toxicology of the dental and medical materials armamentarium will also be an integral part of the program. Didactic work will be offered to the trainees in an already established set of ongoing, regularly scheduled courses and seminar, approved and accredited for advanced degrees by the Northwestern University Graduate School, and taught by the three Ph.D. professors and two clinical adjunct faculty of the Division of Biological materials. The trainees will take their coursework and perform their research along with other students ina the Division who have other means of support. This permits meaningful interactions between the dentally qualified trainees and the engineering and biological science majors. Also the trainees benefit from the interaction with the already present students through Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL). Additional didactic work will be offered to all students in the Division by other departments within the University including Materials Science Chemistry, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Oral Pathology, and Oral Biology. Research is carried out primarily in the Division Laboratories containing modern state of the art equipment for ultrastructure, corrosion, mechanical properties, cell culturing, rheology, spectral analysis, and specimen fabrication. Other equipment is available through cooperative agreements with the Materials Research Center and the Rehabilitation Engineering Center of the University.
