DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The immunologist of tomorrow must appreciate both basic and clinical immunology to effectively utilize modern tools of research in the pursuit of new knowledge about immune-mediated and infectious diseases and their pathogenesis as well as for development of new vaccines and therapies against immune-mediated diseases. Training the scientist and the physician-scientist in immunology and its relationship to infectious diseases as well as other related disciplines such as pathology, biochemistry, and biotechnology will be imperative for the future of immunological sciences. To facilitate the distribution of knowledge in the field of immunology, the Department of Microbiology and Immunology Training Program (ITP) plan to train 6 pre-doctoral and 3 postdoctoral fellows with an immunology faculty of 17 preceptors. The program is unique in that it encompasses faculty from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. The faculty are particularly strong in the 4 subdisciplines emphasized in the ITP, which include Immune Responses to Pathogens, Lymphocyte Development and Signaling, Inflammation, and Autoimmunity. The faculty preceptors have interacted on the OUHSC campus for years, forming a network that is particularly suited to train a cohesive group of pre and postdoctoral fellows in molecular immunology. The program recruits students and fellows from national and international sources, has strong NIH funded research programs, and has new faculty and facilities, all of which foster an atmosphere of excellence in training. The predoctoral students will be eligible for the training program after completion of their lab rotations and qualifying exam. The ITP will provide in-depth enrichment in the 4 subdisciplines to the pre-doctoral and postdoctoral trainees through immunology classes and retreats. Postdoctoral fellows are strongly encouraged to take coursework and to mentor predoctoral students to enhance their immunology background. The ITP advisory committee will advise the trainees as to selection of courses, research, and will prepare the trainees for future careers in immunology.

描述（由申请人提供）：明天的免疫学家必须欣赏基本和临床免疫学，以有效利用现代研究工具来追求有关免疫介导的和传染病的新知识及其发病机理，以及开发新疫苗和针对免疫介导的疾病的疗法。培训科学家和医师科学家免疫学及其与传染病以及其他相关学科（例如病理学，生物化学和生物技术）的关系，对免疫科学的未来至关重要。为了促进免疫学领域的知识分布，微生物和免疫学培训计划（ITP）计划培训6个博士前和3名博士后研究员，并拥有17个受体的免疫学教职员工。该计划的独特之处在于它涵盖了俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心和俄克拉荷马州的教师 医学研究基金会。在ITP中强调的四个子学科中，该教师特别强，其中包括对病原体，淋巴细胞发育和信号传导的免疫反应， 炎症和自身免疫性。多年来，教职员工已经在OUHSC校园进行了互动，该网络特别适合于分子免疫学中训练一组凝聚力的前和博士后研究员组。该计划招募了来自国家和国际资源的学生和研究员，拥有强大的NIH资助研究计划，并拥有新的教职员工和设施，所有这些都促进了培训的卓越氛围。专业学生将在完成实验室轮换和合格考试后有资格参加培训计划。 ITP将通过免疫学课程和务虚会在4个子学科和博士后学员中提供深入的富集。强烈鼓励博士后研究员参加课程工作，并指导专业学生，以增强其免疫学背景。 ITP咨询委员会将为受训人员提供选择，研究课程，并将为受训者做好准备以使未来的免疫学职业做好准备。
