HYPERTENSION

描述（由申请人提供）： 高血压培训计划在加州大学圣地亚哥分校致力于准备有才华的研究人员在研究领域是相关的高血压和疾病与这一常见的医疗问题。这个高血压计划的目标是培养博士前和博士后研究人员的研究生涯，并准备他们在多学科和intregated时尚的职业生涯在学术研究。这是一个有竞争力的继续申请，汇集了各种资金充足和有才华的研究人员，利用基础，转化和临床研究的各种学科，我们建议继续与四名博士前和四名博士后学员共八个职位。所有受训人员都将获得基础研究方面的丰富经验，并参加教学课程和系列研讨会。11个独立调查小组提供多学科培训。这些小组在过去表现出了重要的合作，并得到了与高血压研究相关的计划/项目和中心赠款以及大型综合临床研究中心赠款的资助。培训专门提供几个学科，包括细胞生物学，分子生物学，免疫学，遗传学和基因组学，生物化学和生理学。博士前实习生主要来自UCSD非常成功的生物医学科学研究生课程，分子病理学研究生课程和医学科学家培训课程。博士后培训生是从越来越优秀的合格申请人中挑选出来的。招聘新的，经验丰富的和资金充足的培训计划教师加强了该计划，并增加了研究者的互动和协作程度。课程中增加了多学科互动和正式指导计划的额外机会。研究资金的增长和UCSD校园实验室研究大楼的大幅增加也提高了这种研究环境中生产力的可能性。罗兰博士C. Blantz将继续担任项目主任，由联合主任Morton Printz博士支持。(End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Hypertension Training Program at the University of California, San Diego is dedicated to the preparation of talented investigators in research fields which are pertinent to hypertension and the diseases associated with this common medical problem. The goal of this Hypertension Program is to train predoctoral and postdoctoral investigators for a research career and prepare them in a multidisciplinary and intregated fashion for a career in academic research. This is a competitive continuation application which brings together a variety of well funded and talented investigators utilizing a variety of disciplines in basic, translational and clinical research we propose to continue with four predoctoral and four postdoctoral trainees for a total of eight positions. All trainees receive an intensive experience in basic research coupled to participation in didactic courses and seminar series. Training is offered in multiple disciplines with eleven individual investigative groups. These groups have demonstrated significant collaboration in the past and have been funded by Program/Project and center grants relevant to hypertension research and a large General Clinical Research Center grant. Training is specifically offered in several disciplines including cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, genetics and genomics, biochemistry, and physiology. Predoctoral trainees are derived primarily from the highly successful Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program, Molecular Pathology Graduate Program and Medical Scientist Training Program at UCSD. Postdoctoral trainees are selected from an increasingly excellent pool of well-qualified applicants. Recruitment of new, experienced and well funded training program faculty have strengthened the program and increased the degree of investigator interaction and collaboration. Additional opportunities for multidisciplinary interactions and formalized mentoring programs have been added to the curriculum. Growth in research funding and major increases in laboratory research buildings on the UCSD campus also improve the likelihood of productivity within this research environment. Dr. Roland C. Blantz will continue as Program Director supported by Dr. Morton Printz, Co-Director. (End of Abstract)
