Dermatology Training Grant

描述（申请人提供）： 该培训计划的目标仍然是提供与皮肤相关的基础和临床研究博士后水平的基础培训。所附的受训人员摘要证明了所提供的培训和所进行的调查的范围之广和质量之高。我们的主要目标仍然是培训年轻的医生，科学家和研究人员在学术皮肤病学的职业生涯。为了响应NIH最近的指导计划，并与华盛顿大学医学院的专业知识相结合，我们扩大了培训机会和科学专业知识的范围。我们战略性地专注于四个研究领域：1）上皮和角质形成细胞生物学; 2）骨和基质生物学; 3）分子遗传学和4）炎症，招募了华盛顿大学国际公认的研究人员。我们对这些机会充满热情，并预计我们的战略将成功地支持和发展年轻的研究人员。继续走在生物医学研究的最前沿仍然是我们的目标，我们已经制定了我们的计划战略，特别是考虑到这一目标。我们目前正在招聘两名终身教职员工，并相信这只会有助于进一步加强这一计划，以及为学员提供的科学机会的质量。

DESCRIPTION(Provided by Applicant): The goal of this Training Program continues to be the provision of fundamental training at the postdoctoral level in basic and clinical research as it relates to the skin. The attached trainee summaries attest to the broad scope and excellence of the training provided and the investigations performed. Our primary aim remains the training of young physician-scientists and investigators for careers in academic dermatology. In response to recent NIH-directed initiatives, and in concert with the expertise available at Washington University School of Medicine, we have expanded the scope of training opportunities and scientific expertise available to our trainees. We have strategically focused upon four areas of research: 1) Epithelial and keratinocyte biology; 2) Bone and matrix biology, 3) Molecular Genetics and 4) Inflammation, enlisting preceptors that are internationally-recognized investigators at Washington University. We are enthusiastic about these opportunities, and anticipate that our strategy will be successful in the support and development of young investigators. Continuing on the forefront of biomedical research remains our goal and we have developed our program strategy with this aim specifically in mind. We are currently recruiting two tenure-track faculty members and are confident that this will only serve to further strengthen this program, and the quality of scientific opportunities afforded to the trainees.
