Training in Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis

描述（由申请人提供）：本培训计划的目标是为高素质的候选人提供免疫学和分子发病机制方面的高质量的博士前和博士后培训。该计划的基本原理包括跨学科培训在为调查发病机制提供基础方面的重要性，最近埃默里大学招募了大量调查人员，导致参与教师的重大扩展，参与教师在预-以及博士后培训和扩大以jthis计划为代表的领域的研究机会。在免疫学和分子病理学（IMP）研究生课程的教师有所需的专业知识，提供优秀的博士前和博士后培训至关重要的基础。许多参与的教师都有广泛的培训记录，在某些情况下，在他们被招聘到埃默里大学之前，他们的前机构开始。该计划所代表的研究领域具有出色的潜力，为未来的调查和提供新的见解疾病的发病机制。利用免疫生物学，分子和细胞生物学，病理生物学和遗传学的多种实验方法，教师的研究计划分为4个主要培训领域：1）传染病的发病机制; 2）免疫系统的分子遗传学; 3）细胞生物学和肿瘤发生;和4）免疫生物学。教师是医学院4个基础科学或临床部门的成员。因此，该计划将促进疾病机制调查的跨学科方法。该计划教师的广泛互动，包括：合作研究项目，联合研究小组会议，每周联合研讨会，以及联合参与免疫学和分子病理学（IMP）研究生课程将加强任命为该计划的候选人的跨学科培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this training program high quality pre- and postdoctoral training in immunology and molecular pathogenesis to highly qualified candidates. The rationale for the program includes the importance of interdisciplinary training in providing the foundation for investigating mechanisms of pathogenesis, the recent recruitment to Emory of a large number of investigators that has resulted in a major expansion in the participating faculty, the extensive previous involvement of the participating faculty in pre- and postdoctoral training and the expanding opportunities for research in the areas represented by jthis program. The faculty in the graduate Program in Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis (IMP) have the expertise required to provide the foundation that is critical for outstanding predoctoral and postdoctoral training. Many of the participating faculty have extensive training records, in some cases initiated at their former institutions prior to their recruitment to Emory. The areas of research represented by this program have outstanding potential for future investigations and for providing new insights into disease pathogenesis. Utilizing multiple experimental approaches in immunobiology, molecular and cell biology, pathobiology, and genetics, the research programs of the faculty members fall into 4 main training areas: 1) pathogenesis of infectious diseases; 2) molecular genetics of the immune system; 3) cell biology and oncogenesis; and 4) immunobiology. The faculty are members of 4 basic science or clinical departments in the School of Medicine. Therefore, the interdisciplinary approach to the investigation of disease mechanisms will be fostered by this program. Extensive interactions of the program faculty, including: collaborative research projects, joint research group meetings, joint weekly seminars, and joint participation in the Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis (IMP) Graduate Program will enhance the interdisciplinary training of the candidates appointed to this program.
