RHEUMATOLOGY TRAINING GRANT

描述（申请人提供）： 阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院致力于为医生和生物医学研究人员提供风湿性疾病患者临床护理和研究方法的培训，以促进我们目前对这些疾病的病因和发病机制的理解。培训补助金的重点是B细胞在风湿性疾病中的作用。我们建议招募临床和基础研究人员，其中许多人是积极从事临床护理的风湿病学家，以培养B细胞生物学和风湿性自身免疫性疾病的博士前博士和MD/博士生以及博士后博士和MD研究员。我们相信，在拟议的培训计划中，基础和临床研究的整合是一个重要的优势，将鼓励学员从事以疾病为导向的研究。重点是生物信息学方面的强化培训，这应有助于转化研究。培训计划将为临床研究的性能和伦理学奠定坚实的基础。该机构在少数民族培训方面有着良好的记录。该机构的资源，设施的实力和对基础和疾病相关研究的整合承诺应该为有兴趣了解免疫系统及其在风湿性疾病患者中的异常功能的博士前和博士后学员提供出色的计划。

DESCRIPTION(Provided by Applicant): The Albert Einstein College of Medicine has a commitment to providing training to physicians and biomedical researchers in the clinical care of patients with rheumatic diseases and in the research methodologies to advance our current understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of these diseases. The training grant focuses on the role of B cells in rheumatic diseases. We propose to enlist clinical and basic researchers, many of whom are rheumatologists actively engaged in clinical care to train predoctoral PhD and MD/PhD students and postdoctoral PhD and MD fellows in B cell biology and rheumatic autoimmune diseases. We believe the integration of basic and clinical research in the proposed training program is a significant strength and will encourage trainees to pursue disease-oriented research. There is a focus on intensive training in bioinformatics, which should facilitate translational studies. The training program will provide a strong foundation in the performance and ethics of clinical studies. The institution has a strong track record in minority training. The resources of the institution, strength of the facility and commitment to an integration of basic and disease-related research should provide an outstanding program for pre- and post-doctoral trainees interested in understanding the immune system and its aberrant function in patients with rheumatic diseases.
