Training in Pharmacological Sciences

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请代表了纽约大学医学院药理学的一个新的多学科博士前培训项目。该计划基础广泛，提供分子药理学，信号，神经系统药理学，受体蛋白质结构和环境医学/毒理学要素领域的培训。为了实现这一目标，该计划包括来自医学院基础科学和临床部门的25名教员，他们的研究兴趣在于药理学领域。培训教员有许多重叠的研究兴趣，这确保了博士前的受训者是一个强大的智力环境的一部分，而不是单个实验室。项目教师分布在药理学、细胞生物学、环境医学/毒理学、精神病学、医学、微生物学和生理学/神经科学等部门。这些实验室吸引了直接申请药理学培训计划和纽约大学医学院萨克勒研究生生物医学科学研究所开放研究生课程的学生。整个学院都吸引了高素质的学生和博士后。这个项目的教员都属于萨克勒研究所。学员将参加一些核心和高级课程，每周研讨会，工作进展会议，期刊俱乐部和教程，旨在确保广泛接触分子药理学和药理学。将鼓励学员和参与教师之间的合作，从最初的实验室轮转开始，并继续由个别教师指导论文研究。该计划的目标是为博士生提供一个强大的，基础广泛的培训，他们将发展成为有生产力，有竞争力和有创造力的科学家，能够为药理学领域及其在人类疾病中的应用做出重要贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application represents a new multi-disciplinary predoctoral training program in the Pharmacological Sciences at the New York University (NYU) School of Medicine. The Program is broad based and provides training in the area of molecular pharmacology, signaling, pharmacology of the nervous system, protein structure of receptors, and elements of environmental medicine/toxicology. To achieve this aim, the Program has included 25 faculty members from both basic science and clinical departments at the medical school, whose research interests lay in the field of Pharmacology. The training faculty members have many overlapping research interests, which ensure that predoctoral trainees are part of a strong intellectual environment larger than the individual laboratories. The program faculty are located in the Departments of Pharmacology, Cell Biology, Environmental Medicine/Toxicology, Psychiatry, Medicine, Microbiology, and, Physiology/Neuroscience. The laboratories draw students who directly apply to the Pharmacological Sciences Training Program and from an open graduate program operated by the Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at the NYU School of Medicine. The entire faculty has attracted highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows. The program faculty members all belong to the Sackler Institute. Trainees will participate in a number of core and advanced courses, weekly seminars, work-in-progress sessions, journal clubs and tutorials intended to ensure broad exposure to molecular pharmacology and the pharmacological sciences. Collaborations between trainees and participating faculty will be encouraged starting with initial laboratory rotations and continuing with mentoring of dissertation studies by individual faculty members. The goal of this program is to provide a strong, broad based training of predoctoral students who will develop into productive, competitive and creative scientists capable of making important contributions to the field of Pharmacology and its application to human disease.
