DESCRIPTION (Adapted From Application): This application is for renewal of a 7-year-old program called the Old Westbury Neuroscience International Program, or OWNIP. The program will be directed by Dr. George B. Stefano. The purpose of OWNIP is twofold: to increase the neuroscience potential of SUNY/College of Old Westbury and its principal investigators and to encourage minority science majors to become aware of and interested in biomedical research careers. These goals will be achieved by working with international scientists who share joint research interests. This collaboration will give students a global perspective regarding science and cultures while simultaneously enriching their academic experience. The College at Old Westbury has faculty that are interested in neuroscience in general and neuroimmunology in particular. It has a multiethnic faculty and a high percentage of minority students who choose science as a major. The faculty have special interests in molecular and cellular neuroimmunology related to National Institute of Drug Abuse and National Institute of Mental Health interests. The OWNIP activities will include international travel for both faculty and students, international visits by foreign scientists and experience in foreign laboratories. Each year, 10 undergraduates will spend 10 weeks at the foreign sites. There are four foreign sites, one each in Italy and France, and two in China. The Italian site in at the University of Modena, in the Neurobiology Section of the Department of Animal Biology, under the direction of Dr. Dario Sonetti. Two of the OWNIP faculty have visited and lectured at this University. Further, Dr. Stefano has an ongoing collaborative research project there, and at least one former MIRT student (Federico Casares) has participated in this joint research project. The research at this site focuses on morphine as an endogenous neuro- and immune-active signal molecule. The French site is at the University of Lille, with Dr. M. Salzet, whose research focuses on comparison of sequences of neuropeptides isolated from vertebrates and invertebrates, with special interest currently on the renin-angiotensin system. The first site in China is at the Beijing Medical College, under Dr. Shao Guang Fan in the Department of Physiology, which he chairs. His research interests focus on the effects of opioid peptides on rejection on organ transplantation, i.e. opiate and transplantation immunity. The second Chinese site is at the Institute Medica of the Shanghai Research Institute, under Dr. Xiao-Yu Li. Dr. Stefano has visited this facility, and found it to be modern and well equipped. The research focus here is in the field of opioid immune regulation.

说明(改编自申请书)：本申请书适用于续期 这个名为老韦斯特伯里神经科学国际项目的项目已有7年历史， 或者OWNIP。该项目将由乔治·B·斯特凡诺博士执导。目的 OWNIP是双重的：提高纽约州立大学/老年学院的神经科学潜力 韦斯特伯里及其主要研究人员，并鼓励少数民族科学 了解并对生物医学研究事业感兴趣的专业。这些 目标将通过与国际科学家合作来实现，这些科学家共享共同的 研究兴趣。这一合作将使学生具有全球视野 在丰富学术的同时，关注科学和文化 经验。 老韦斯特伯里学院的教职员工对神经科学感兴趣 一般，特别是神经免疫学。它有一个多民族的教职员工和一个 选择理科专业的少数民族学生比例较高。教职员工 对相关的分子和细胞神经免疫学有特殊兴趣 国家药物滥用研究所和国家精神卫生研究所 兴趣。OWNIP的活动将包括两人的国际旅行 教师和学生、外国科学家的国际访问和经验 在国外的实验室里。 每年，10名本科生将在外国网站度过10周。那里 有四个外国网站，意大利和法国各一个，中国两个。 意大利网站在摩德纳大学的神经生物学部分 动物生物系，在达里奥·索内蒂博士的指导下。二 OWNIP的教职员工都曾访问过这所大学并讲学。此外，Dr。 Stefano在那里有一个正在进行的合作研究项目，至少有一个 前MIRT学生(费德里科·卡萨雷斯)参与了这项联合研究 项目。该网站的研究重点是吗啡作为一种内源性神经- 和免疫活性信号分子。 法国的网站在里尔大学，与M.Salzet博士一起，他的 研究重点是比较从沙门氏菌分离的神经肽的序列 脊椎动物和无脊椎动物，目前对 肾素-血管紧张素系统。 中国的第一个遗址是在北京医学院，在邵光博士的领导下 他在生理系任职，并担任该系主任。他的研究兴趣 关注阿片肽对器官移植排斥反应的影响， 即鸦片类药物和移植免疫。 第二个中国网站在上海医学研究所 研究所，师从萧余力博士。斯特凡诺博士曾参观过这个设施， 发现它是现代的，装备齐全。这里的研究重点是在 阿片类免疫调节领域。
