DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The focus of the Training Program in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine is to provide doctoral students with advanced training in biomedical research with the ultimate goal of designing cell, tissue, and scaffold-based therapies. The didactic portion of the program provides an integrated, innovative and rigorous educational experience that has as its goal the repair or regeneration of human tissues and organs. Resources for the program come from a core of well-funded faculty in several departments or divisions at Thomas Jefferson University. We request support for three predoctoral students in the 01 year of the grant and four students in the 02-04 years; in the 05 year we ask for five slots. There are five program objectives: (1) to integrate contemporary advances in cell, molecular, and developmental biology towards understanding tissue function; (2) to relate fundamental advances in the life sciences to contemporary concepts in tissue engineering (3) to understand the pathogenesis of diseases that afflict the musculoskeletal system; (4) to foster practical understanding of the pathophysiology of diseases of the skeleton and the nature of clinical investigation through industrial and medical cross-training; (5) to build a pipeline of talented individuals for careers in musculoskeletal research. The didactic aspects of the training program are embedded in integrating developmental, cell and molecular biology; bioinformatics and functional genomics; tissue engineering and bioimaging; and translational medicine. So as to anchor the program in human disease, students meet with surgeons in the clinic and operating room to consider health problems that are amenable to treatment by Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine. Development of translational research is furthered by collaboration with scientists at local pharmaceutical companies and laboratories. Against this background, students develop their dissertation research which provides the foundation for their future careers as independent, innovative scientific investigators. The focus of the training program in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine is to provide doctoral students with advanced training in biomedical research. As a result of their training, these students will generate new knowledge of the diseases that afflict the musculoskeletal system and provide strategies that will serve to ameliorate or prevent diseases that currently afflict a huge number of Americans.

描述（由申请人提供）：组织工程和再生医学培训计划的重点是为博士生提供生物医学研究方面的高级培训，最终目标是设计基于细胞，组织和支架的疗法。该计划的教学部分提供了一个综合，创新和严格的教育经验，其目标是修复或再生人体组织和器官。该计划的资源来自托马斯杰斐逊大学几个系或部门的资金充足的教师核心。我们请求在01年资助三名博士预科学生，在02-04年资助四名学生;在05年，我们请求五个名额。 有五个计划目标：（1）整合当代细胞，分子和发育生物学的进展，以了解组织功能;（2）将生命科学的基本进展与组织工程的当代概念联系起来;（3）了解折磨肌肉骨骼系统的疾病的发病机制;（4）通过工业和医学交叉培训，促进对骨骼疾病的病理生理学和临床研究性质的实际理解;（5）为肌肉骨骼研究事业建立人才管道。培训计划的教学方面嵌入了整合发育，细胞和分子生物学;生物信息学和功能基因组学;组织工程和生物成像;和转化医学。因此，为了锚在人类疾病的程序，学生会见了在诊所和手术室的外科医生，以考虑健康问题，适合通过组织工程和再生医学治疗。通过与当地制药公司和实验室的科学家合作，进一步发展转化研究。在这种背景下，学生发展他们的论文研究，为他们未来的职业生涯提供了独立，创新的科学调查的基础。 组织工程和再生医学培训计划的重点是为博士生提供生物医学研究的高级培训。由于他们的培训，这些学生将产生的疾病，折磨肌肉骨骼系统的新知识，并提供策略，这将有助于改善或预防目前困扰着大量美国人的疾病。
