DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):The goal of the Interdepartmental Training Program in Cellular and Molecular Endocrinology at Johns Hopkins is to train physicians and postdoctoral fellows in biomedical science related to endocrinology and endocrine disease. The Program Director will work with a Steering Committee to choose candidates from two pools of highly talented individuals: 1) endocrine fellows at Johns Hopkins who have completed one year of clinical endocrine training, and 2) M.D. and Ph.D. applicants from this and other institutions who have a strong interest in fundamental laboratory training. Selection will be based not only on an individual's qualifications and interests, but also on their potential and commitment to applying fundamental science to clinical problems. The training program consists of at least two years of intensive basic science laboratory work under the direction of sixteen preceptors whose interests fall within the broad concepts of molecular and cellular biology, membrane protein biochemistry, genetics, cellular physiology, and developmental biology. Trainees will learn and use laboratory techniques including recombinant DNA and RNA manipulations, transgenic technology, protein biochemistry, electrophysiology, cell and tissue culture, and immunology as applied endocrine problems. In addition to basic laboratory work, trainees will participate in a curriculum that consists of research seminars, journal club, clinical conferences, and formal courses to be selected by mutual decision between the trainee, the preceptor, and the Program Director. The clinical experience is limited to 2 to 4 half-day sessions per month in an Outpatient Endocrine Clinic. The availability of an NIH-funded General Clinical Research Center provides trainees with an opportunity to develop clinical research protocols that complement their laboratory studies, and to discover the potential benefits of translational research. The major goal of this program is to train academic endocrinologists who function as independent laboratory scientists capable of developing hypotheses and creating research plans that address contemporary endocrine problems. M.D. candidates are eligible to sit for the Endocrine or Pediatric Endocrinology subspecialty boards.

描述（由申请人提供）：约翰霍普金斯大学细胞和分子内分泌学跨部门培训计划的目标是培训与内分泌学和内分泌疾病相关的生物医学科学的医生和博士后研究员。项目主任将与指导委员会合作，从两个极具才华的人才库中选择候选人：1）约翰霍普金斯大学的内分泌研究员，他们已经完成了一年的临床内分泌培训，2）医学博士。和博士申请人从这个和其他机构谁有浓厚的兴趣在基础实验室培训。选择将不仅基于个人的资格和兴趣，而且还基于他们将基础科学应用于临床问题的潜力和承诺。培训计划包括至少两年的密集的基础科学实验室工作的指导下，其利益属于分子和细胞生物学，膜蛋白生物化学，遗传学，细胞生理学和发育生物学的广泛概念。学员将学习和使用实验室技术，包括重组DNA和RNA操作，转基因技术，蛋白质生物化学，电生理学，细胞和组织培养，以及免疫学作为应用内分泌问题。除了基本的实验室工作，学员将参加由研究研讨会，期刊俱乐部，临床会议和正式课程组成的课程，由学员，导师和项目总监共同决定。临床经验限于每月在门诊内分泌诊所进行2至4次半天的会议。美国国立卫生研究院资助的一般临床研究中心的可用性为学员提供了一个机会，开发临床研究协议，补充他们的实验室研究，并发现转化研究的潜在好处。该计划的主要目标是培养学术内分泌学家，他们作为独立的实验室科学家，能够提出假设并制定解决当代内分泌问题的研究计划。M.D.候选人有资格参加内分泌或儿科内分泌专科委员会。
