NHLBI Respiration Biology Research Training Grant

超出所提供的空间。呼吸系统疾病仍然是造成死亡和残疾的一个主要原因。呼吸生物学方面的培训将为青年研究人员从事旨在消除这些发病和死亡的主要原因的职业做好准备。该计划为医生或博士提供密集的研究培训，为独立调查员的职业生涯做准备。在过去的资助期内，我们利用了梅奥诊所罗切斯特，明尼苏达州和梅奥诊所斯科茨代尔，亚利桑那州强大的联合研究培训专业知识。梅奥罗切斯特胸科研部主任Andrew H. Limper博士将继续担任项目主任，而梅奥斯科茨代尔约翰逊研究中心哮喘研究和转基因项目主任James J. Lee博士将担任联席主任。这个培训项目是我们综合研究和管理结构的自然延伸。两个校区都有发达且有竞争力的研究团队。教职员工在医学部、生物化学/分子生物学、免疫学和生理学等部门担任学术职务。利用我们的卫星通信，主要会议在校园之间进行远程会议。此外，教职员工经常在不同地点之间进行教育、科学和行政工作。即时通讯通过我们集成的寻呼和电话系统、视频链接和电子邮件实现。Limper博士和梅奥研究生院在梅奥诊所之间的培训中有相当丰富的经验。我们建议18名高级教员和6名副教员，研究教员被分配到不同的地点。现有的研究课题包括宿主防御和肺部感染生物学、哮喘和阻塞性肺病、细胞外基质和肺纤维化、囊性纤维化的分子基础、疾病的转基因动物模型、肺部炎症、细胞生物力学、蛋白酶和脂质生物化学。我们提供优秀的研究机会，每年提供4个实习岗位。具有医学博士、博士或医学博士、博士背景的合格候选人均可考虑。我们已经在招募代表性不足的少数民族方面取得了重大成功，并将继续这些努力。候选人承诺至少两年，但最好是三年或以上的全职研究。广泛的教学课程，以补充密集的实验室经验。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. Respiratory diseases remain a major cause of death and disability. Training in respiratory biology will prepare young investigators for careers directed at eliminating these major causes of morbidity and mortality. This program provides intensive research training for physicians or Ph.D.s to prepare for careers as independent investigators. Over the past funding period, we have utilized the strong combined research training expertise of the Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN and Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, AZ. Dr. Andrew H. Limper, director of the Thoracic Research Unit at Mayo Rochester, will continue as program director, while Dr. James J. Lee, director of asthma research and the transgenic program at the Johnson Research Center at Mayo Scottsdale, will act as co-director. This training program arises as a natural extension of our integrated research and administrative structure. Well-developed and competitively funded research teams are present at both campuses. Faculty members hold academic appointments in the Departments of Medicine, Biochemistry/Molecular Biology, Immunology, and Physiology. Utilizing our satellite-based communication, major conferences are teleconferenced between campuses. In addition, faculty routinely travel between sites for educational, scientific, and administrative duties. Immediate communication occurs via our integrated paging and telephone systems, video links, and electronic mail. Dr. Limper and the Mayo Graduate School have considerable experience in supervising trainees as they train between Mayo sites. We propose 18 senior and 6 associate faculty members, with the research faculty being divided between the sites. Available research topics range from the biology of host defense and pulmonary infections, asthma and obstructive lung disease, extracellular matrix and lung fibrosis, the molecular basis of cystic fibrosis, transgenic animal models of disease, lung inflammation, cellular biomechanics, and protease and lipid biochemistry. We propose outstanding research opportunities for four trainee positions per year. Qualified candidates with M.D., Ph.D., or M.D., Ph.D. backgrounds are considered. We have already had significant success in the recruitment of under-represented minorities and will continue these efforts. Candidate are committed to a minimum of two, but preferably three or more years of full time research. A wide range of didactic courses is available to complement the intensive laboratory experience.
