TRAINING IN IMMUNODERMATOLOGY

描述(由申请者提供)：这项第25年的培训拨款建议在科罗拉多大学丹佛分校皮肤科和健康科学中心(UCDHSC)进行至少两年的免疫皮肤学或皮肤肿瘤学博士后培训，以实现全职皮肤科学术生涯。这一培训计划的范围已经扩大，以更好地为毕业生为未来的合作研究环境做准备，包括涉及基础和临床研究接口的“NIH路线图”建议。 大卫·莫里斯医学博士在过去的5年里一直担任这笔赠款的PI，并将继续发展对这笔机构培训赠款至关重要的协作互动。执行委员会将监督对研究员的培训和征聘的管理。自1984年以来，25名研究生中有19人进入了全日制学术生涯，16人目前仍在从事全日制皮肤科学术工作。五名毕业生是UCDHSC皮肤科的全职研究教员。培训人员在管理研究团队以及培训和指导研究人员方面拥有丰富的经验。 培训将使年轻的研究人员做好准备，参加皮肤肿瘤学或免疫皮肤病学的多学科工作台到床边研究项目，这是UCDHSC皮肤病学的主要兴趣。基础癌症发生、获得性和先天免疫、分子生物学和遗传学、细胞信号和细胞死亡方面的培训可作为学员的重点。一些受训者还将包括基于结果的医学、皮肤流行病学或与癌症和自身免疫相关的转化性研究方面的研究培训。 医学博士、医学博士/博士或博士候选人将包括在内，每年招募两名实习生。提出了培训的四个要素：个人研究项目、正式课程、研讨会和沟通技能培训。课程将强调免疫学、癌症或临床研究，并附加科学伦理、职业发展技能和生物统计学方面的培训。受训者和他们的培训主管将选择研究项目，并建立一个课程概况，以补充该项目。阿姆斯特朗博士和安塞尔博士将指导沟通技巧的培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training grant in its 25th year proposes a minimum of two years of postdoctoral training in Immunodermatology or Cutaneous Oncology for a full time career in Academic Dermatology in the Department of Dermatology of the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center (UCDHSC). The scope of this training program has been increased to better prepare graduates for the collaborative research environment of the future including "NIH Roadmap" proposals involving the interface of basic and clinical research. David Morris MD has been the PI of this grant for the past 5 years, and will continue to develop the collaborative interactions critical to this institutional training grant. An Executive Committee will supervise the management of training and recruitment of fellows. Since 1984,19 of 25 fellowship graduates have entered full time academic careers and 16 are currently retained in full time academic Dermatology. Five graduates are full time research faculty members of the Department of Dermatology at UCDHSC. The training faculty has extensive experiences in managing research teams and in training and mentoring research fellows. Training will prepare young investigators to participate in multi-disciplinary bench-to-bedside research projects in Cutaneous Oncology or Immunodermatology, the major interests in Dermatology at UCDHSC. Training in fundamental carcinogenesis, acquired and innate immunity, molecular biology and genetics, cell signaling, and cell death are available as foci for trainees. Some trainees will also include research training in outcomes-based medicine, dermatoepidemiology or translational research related to cancer and autoimmunity. M.D., M.D. /Ph.D or Ph.D candidates will be included with two trainees recruited each year. Four essentials of training are proposed: Individual research projects, formal coursework, seminars, and training in communications skills. Coursework will emphasize Immunology, Cancer, or Clinical Investigation, with additional training in Scientific Ethics, Career Development Skills, and Biostatistics. Trainees and their training supervisors will select research projects and build a course profile that complements the project. Training in communication skills will be supervised by Drs. Armstrong and Ansel.
