Training Program in Molecular Hematology

描述（由申请人提供）： 该计划的目的是培养科学家从事血液学研究。 主要重点是造血，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学的相关领域。 该计划是通过分子医学和血液学和医学肿瘤学，这构成了内科的主要实验室研究领域的部门管理，并包括在OHSU参与大型和互动的俄勒冈州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。 转化研究的培训与OHSU大学医院、波特兰VA医疗中心和专门从事骨髓移植和白血病管理的血液肿瘤中心的临床活动密切相关。 越来越多的临床科学家和血液学基础科学家在OHSU提供了一个优秀的环境，为我们的研究生和研究生学员。

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.
