Research Training in Hematology

描述（由申请人提供）： 目前的培训计划汇集了17名教师，从总共9个 在校园部门集中在两个领域的广泛重要性，人类疾病：血管生物学和干细胞生物学/血液恶性肿瘤。 这项补助金的主要目标是培养一个混合的医学博士。和博士具有杰出潜力的科学家在这些领域开展持续的独立研究计划。 两个博士前职位要求利用优秀的医学博士池。博士候选人和强大的研究生课程在威斯康星州大学的悠久传统。 临床研究者跟踪的研究员或住院医生来自三个参与临床部门（医学，儿科和病理学）和博士。将从参与的基础科学部门（解剖学，生物化学，生物分子化学，病理学和药理学）的受训人员中选出四个博士后职位。 该学院在基础和临床科学方面拥有广泛的专业知识，包括基因阵列和基因组学，转录和转录后基因表达，蛋白质结构分析，细胞生物学，造血和内皮细胞培养，生物医学工程，小鼠和灵长类动物模型，胚胎干细胞和骨髓移植的实验方法。 该培训计划利用了威斯康星州大学的临床研究者预备计划（K30赠款），为从事转化研究项目的候选人提供临床试验和生物统计学方面的教学培训。 该计划在保留学术医学实习生方面有着出色的记录。 大量合格的候选人，优秀的核心设施，机构支持和广泛的科学专业知识促进了多学科的方法，这将确保我们的学员在科学事业上取得成功。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current training program brings together seventeen faculty members from a total of nine Departments on campus to focus on two areas of broad importance for human disease: vascular biology and stem cell biology/hematologic malignancy. The primary goal of this grant is to train a mixture of M.D. and Ph.D. scientists with outstanding potential to develop a sustained, independent research program in these fields. Two predoctoral positions are requested to take advantage of the outstanding pool of M.D. Ph.D. candidates and the long tradition of strong graduate programs at the University of Wisconsin. Fellows or residents in the Clinical Investigator track from the three participating clinical Departments (Medicine, Pediatrics, and Pathology) and Ph.D. trainees from the participating basic science departments (Anatomy, Biochemistry, Biomolecular Chemistry, Pathology and Pharmacology) will be selected for the four postdoctoral positions. The faculty have broad expertise in both basic and clinical sciences, including experimental approaches in gene arrays and genomics, transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene expression, protein structural analysis, cell biology, hematopoetic and endothelial cell culture, biomedical engineering, murine and primate animal models, embryonic stems cells, and bone marrow transplantation. The training program takes advantage of the Clinical Investigator Preparatory Program (K30 grant) at the University of Wisconsin to provide didactic training in clinical trials and biostatistics for candidates pursuing translational research projects. The program has an excellent record of retaining trainees in academic medicine. The large pool of qualified candidates, excellent core facilities, institutional support, and broad range of scientific expertise fosters multidisciplinary approaches that will ensure successful careers in science for our trainees.
