Pre-and Postdoctoral Training Program in Immunology

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的免疫学培训计划的目的是为学术界、工业界和政府研究实验室提供高度创造性和生产力的研究免疫学家，他们在免疫学方面接受过广泛的培训，在其研究专业方面接受过良好的培训，并在相关领域接受过教育（例如，疾病的发病机理、细胞生物学、分子生物学、肿瘤生物学）。这一目标是由该计划的参与者的智力愿望和职业抱负以及国家的健康需求所规定的。这一目标将通过让博士前学生遵循一个高度可见的和明确的免疫学轨道（核心课程）在医学和牙科的罗切斯特学校的大学建立跨部门的研究生培训环境设置来实现。必不可少的核心环境将通过以下方式培养：免疫学系致力于卓越的教学和研究，并致力于免疫学培训;学员及其导师的积极免疫学研究计划;免疫学结构化讲座课程，并附带共同研讨会;关于免疫学前沿主题的一系列高级研讨会课程;正在进行的研讨会系列和期刊俱乐部;一系列活跃的研讨会;以及大量的受训者。在与免疫学相关的领域的培训广度将由学生在免疫学轨道采取课程和/或研讨会在科学探究的相关领域与免疫学接口完成。在B细胞生物学范围内的各种免疫学问题的研究培训机会（Bottaro，Insel，Phipps，Sanz，Young），T细胞生物学（Barth，Cohen，Crispe，Fowell，Frelinger，Mosmann，Moynihan，Zheng），炎症（Barth，Phipps，Segal），肿瘤免疫（Lord，Frelinger，Segal，Cohen），自身免疫（Fowell，Segal），免疫进化（Cohen）和神经免疫系统相互作用（莫伊尼汉，科恩，西格尔）将提供给前和博士后研究员由一个经验丰富，才华横溢，高度互动的初级培训教师。要求在5年内每年为10名博士前和2名博士后受训人员提供培训支助。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of the proposed Immunology Training Program is to provide academia, industry, and governmental research laboratories with highly creative and productive research immunologists who are broadly trained in immunology, well trained in their research specialty, and schooled in interrelated fields (e.g., pathogenesis of disease, cell biology, molecular biology, tumor biology). This goal is mandated by the intellectual desires and career aspirations of the program's participants and by the health needs of the nation. This goal will be achieved by having the predoctoral students follow a highly visible and defined Immunology Track (core curriculum) set in the established interdepartmental graduate training milieu of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. The essential core environment will be fostered by: a Division of Immunology faculty dedicated to excellence in teaching and research and committed to immunology training; active immunological research programs of trainees and their mentors; a structured lecture course in immunology and with an adjunct co-seminar; a series of advanced level seminar courses on cutting edge topics in immunology; a research-in-progress seminar series and a journal club; an active seminar series; and by a catalytic number of trainees. Breadth in training in fields related to immunology will be accomplished by students in the Immunology Track taking courses and/or seminars in pertinent areas of scientific inquiry that interface with immunology. Research training opportunities in a wide variety of immunological problems within the purview of B-cell biology (Bottaro, Insel, Phipps, Sanz, Young), T-cell biology (Barth, Cohen, Crispe, Fowell, Frelinger, Mosmann, Moynihan, Zheng), inflammation (Barth, Phipps, Segal), tumor immunity (Lord, Frelinger, Segal, Cohen), autoimmunity (Fowell, Segal), evolution of immunity (Cohen), and neural-immune system interactions (Moynihan, Cohen, Segal) will be offered to pre- and postdoctoral fellows by an experienced, talented, and highly interactive primary training faculty. Training support is requested for 10 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral trainees in each of 5 years.
