Training Program in Molecular Hematology

描述(由申请人提供)： 该计划的目的是为血液学研究的职业培训科学家。主要关注造血、免疫和止血系统的细胞生理学，但扩展到发育和细胞血液学、白血病发病机制、造血发育、铁代谢的细胞生物学、病毒发病机制、细胞生长信号、基因组不稳定性和实验治疗等相关领域。该计划由分子医学和血液学和内科肿瘤科管理，这三个部门构成了内科医学部的主要实验室研究领域，并包括OHSU内参与大型互动俄勒冈癌症研究所的其他部门单位。培训教师由来自医学、儿科、微生物学和免疫学、生物化学和分子生物学、细胞和发育生物学以及Vollum研究所的26名成员组成。翻译研究培训与俄亥俄州立大学医院、波特兰退伍军人医学中心和专门从事骨髓移植和白血病治疗的血液恶性肿瘤中心的临床活动密切相关。OHSU在血液学方面越来越多的临床科学家和基础科学家为我们的研究生和研究生实习生提供了一个出色的环境。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this program is to train scientists for careers in hematological research. The primary focus is on the cellular physiology of the hematopoietic, immune and hemostatic systems, but extends to related areas of developmental and cellular hematology, leukemia pathogenesis, hematopoietic development, cellular biology of iron metabolism, viral pathogenesis, cell growth signaling, genomic instability, and experimental therapeutics. The program is administered through the Divisions of Molecular Medicine and Hematology and Medical Oncology, which constitute the major laboratory research areas of the Department of Internal Medicine, and includes other Departmental units within OHSU that participate in the large and interactive Oregon Cancer Institute. The training faculty consists of 26 members from Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, Microbiology and Immunology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cell and Developmental Biology and the Vollum Institute. Training in translational research is closely allied with clinical activities of the OHSU University Hospital, Portland VA Medical Center and the Center for Hematologic Malignancies, which specializes in bone marrow transplantation and leukemia management. The increasing number of clinician scientists and basic scientists in hematology at OHSU provides an outstanding environment for our graduate and postgraduate trainees.
