DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are seeking support to train graduate students over a five year period in the area of host-pathogen interactions. Seventeen investigators in 5 colleges at the University of Maryland whose primary research interest pertains to host-pathogen interactions have come together to form a research cluster in the newly- formed BISI graduate program in the College of Chemical and Life Sciences. The devastating effects of infectious diseases caused by pathogens such as tuberculosis, meningitis, leishmaniasis, influenza and other parasitic infections, etc. are well known, and efforts to understand the mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis are easily justified from a world health perspective. The importance of microbial pathogens extends well beyond the diseases they cause, because studying their pathogenesis will lead to new insights in immunology and cellular biology. Thus, this is an excellent area for graduate student training. This training proposal seeks support for a unique training program that will immerse students in interdisciplinary research, striving to integrate advances in genomics, immunology, and microbial pathogenesis with our rapidly expanding understanding of host-pathogen interactions. The goal of this program is to train graduate students in basic cell and molecular biology of host-pathogen interactions, with an eye to developing translational approaches to improve health. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Pathogens infect nearly all life forms and many have the potential to cause world-wide pandemics. This training proposal seeks support to train predoctoral students to meet the research challenges that these diseases are likely to create. The diverse faculty will bring a variety of expertise to bear on problems that are common to studying host-pathogen interactions. This program includes developing strategies to protect humans and animals to improve the quality of people's lives.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在寻求支持，在宿主-病原体相互作用领域培养研究生超过五年。来自马里兰州大学5个学院的17名研究人员，其主要研究兴趣涉及宿主-病原体相互作用，他们聚集在一起，在化学和生命科学学院新成立的BISI研究生项目中形成了一个研究集群。由病原体引起的传染病如结核病、脑膜炎、利什曼病、流感和其他寄生虫感染等的破坏性影响是众所周知的，从世界卫生的角度来看，理解微生物致病机制的努力是很容易证明的。微生物病原体的重要性远远超出了它们引起的疾病，因为研究它们的发病机制将导致免疫学和细胞生物学的新见解。因此，这是研究生培养的一个很好的领域。该培训计划旨在支持一个独特的培训计划，使学生沉浸在跨学科研究中，努力将基因组学，免疫学和微生物发病机制的进展与我们对宿主-病原体相互作用的快速扩展的理解相结合。该计划的目标是培养研究生在宿主-病原体相互作用的基础细胞和分子生物学，着眼于开发翻译方法，以改善健康。 相关性（见说明）：病原体感染几乎所有的生命形式，许多有可能导致世界范围的流行病。该培训提案寻求支持，以培训博士前学生，以应对这些疾病可能带来的研究挑战。多样化的教师将带来各种专业知识，以承担研究宿主-病原体相互作用的常见问题。该计划包括制定保护人类和动物的战略，以提高人们的生活质量。
