TRANSFUSION MEDICINE RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM

这个培训项目的目的是准备医学博士，医学博士/博士博士后研究员在输血医学（TM）的多学科领域的研究生涯。研究员将在一位经验丰富的导师的实验室进行独立研究，该导师从具有不同兴趣的教师中选出，包括细胞膜（红细胞，血小板）结构和功能，自身免疫和肿瘤疾病的免疫生物学，造血和病毒学。该计划选定的13名导师包括10名资深科学家，他们具有丰富的博士前和博士后研究员培训经验，并具有当前，积极的实验室间合作。该培训计划的独特之处在于提供了一个基础广泛的研究环境，加上一个完善的临床TM奖学金培训计划。这为研究员提供了机会，根据他们以前的教育经验，进行重点研究培训或纳入临床TM奖学金培训。在培训补助金支持的前4年（1994年至今），9名研究员成功完成了该计划，其中一些获得了研究资金（如KO 8）或建立了长期职位，作为TM初级教师或研究科学家的研究责任。

The purpose of this training program is to prepare M.D., M.D./Ph.D. postdoctoral fellows for research careers in the multi-disciplinary field of Transfusion Medicine (TM). Fellows will conduct independent research in the laboratory of an experienced mentor, selected among faculty with diverse interests including cell membrane (red blood cells, platelets) structure and function, immunobiology of autoimmune and neoplastic disorders, hematopoiesis and virology. The 13 mentors selected for this program include 10 senior scientists with extensive experience training both predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, and with current, active, interlaboratory collaborations. The uniqueness of this training program lies in the availability of a broad-based research environment coupled with a well established clinical TM fellowship training program. This provides fellows with the opportunity to pursue focused research training or to incorporate clinical TM fellowship training depending upon their previous educational experience. During the first 4 years of training grant support (1994 to present), 9 fellows have successfully completed the program, some acquiring research funding (e.g. KO8) or establishing permanent positions with research responsibilities as TM junior faculty or research scientists.
