DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Injury and inflammation are central components of a variety of pathophysiologic states, such as sepsis, trauma, hemorrhage, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, arthritis and atherosclerosis. The biology of injury and inflammation shares many common themes across disease states. While trauma was initially deemed to be the realm of the surgeon, arthritis the purview of the rheumatologist, and atherosclerosis the focus for the cardiologist, these processes merely represent specific examples of injury with an accompanying host inflammatory response. Indeed, the molecular and cellular basis for many of these disorders are highly analogous. These biological questions are sufficiently complex that sophisticated techniques in immunology, cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology are required. Crossing the boundaries of traditional scientific and clinical disciplines to address these issues of injury and inflammation will require that future researchers are trained in a multi-disciplinary environment with the opportunity for cross fertilization of ideas and technologies. The purpose of this training grant in the Biology of Injury and Inflammation is to provide postdoctoral research training in the cellular and molecular biology of clinical states typified by trauma, sepsis, ischemia/reperfusion, acute and chronic inflammation, and/or critical illness. We are proposing to support three trainees per year. Each trainee will spend at least two years as a postdoctoral research fellow. This application represents a multidisciplinary research training program which draws from the basic science departments of Immunology, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Biomedical Engineering, as well as the clinical departments of Medicine, Anesthesiology, and Surgery. Although this grant will be housed in the Duke Dept. of Surgery, applications from interested individuals in Anesthesiology, Medicine or the basic sciences are welcome. The central intent of this program is to train future scientists in the Biology of Injury and Inflammation. It is our goal to capitalize upon the scientific opportunities and resources available through Duke University by training future leaders in the biology of injury and inflammation.

描述(申请人提供)：损伤和炎症是各种病理生理状态的中心组成部分，如败血症、创伤、出血、全身炎症反应综合征、关节炎和动脉粥样硬化。损伤和炎症的生物学在不同疾病状态下有许多共同的主题。虽然创伤最初被认为是外科医生的领域，关节炎是风湿科医生的范围，动脉粥样硬化是心脏病专家的重点，但这些过程只是代表了伴随着宿主炎症反应的损伤的具体例子。事实上，许多这些疾病的分子和细胞基础高度相似。这些生物学问题非常复杂，需要免疫学、细胞生物学、生物化学和分子生物学方面的尖端技术。跨越传统科学和临床学科的界限以解决这些损伤和炎症问题，将要求未来的研究人员在多学科环境中接受培训，并有机会进行思想和技术的交叉培养。 这项损伤和炎症生物学的培训基金的目的是提供创伤、败血症、缺血/再灌注、急性和慢性炎症和/或危重疾病等临床状态的细胞和分子生物学方面的博士后研究培训。我们提议每年支持三名实习生。每名实习生将作为博士后研究员至少两年。这项申请代表了一个多学科的研究培训计划，它来自免疫学、生物化学、遗传学和生物医学工程基础科学系，以及内科、麻醉学和外科临床系。虽然这笔补助金将被安置在杜克部。对于外科专业，欢迎对麻醉学、医学或基础科学感兴趣的个人提出申请。这个项目的中心目的是培训未来的损伤和炎症生物学方面的科学家。我们的目标是利用杜克大学提供的科学机会和资源，培训未来的损伤和炎症生物学领域的领导者。
