STROKE AND BRAIN IMAGING FACULTY RECRUITMENT - P51 RR000165-49-S2

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 根据我们P51家长资助的目标，Yerkes NPRC成功地开发了一个使用非人类灵长类动物模型和脑成像技术来研究中风和中风干预的项目。该计划的重点与我们的P51家长补助金的组成部分直接相关，该组成部分旨在加强适用于解决人类健康问题的研究，即翻译研究。 具体地说，要求提供资金来招聘一名中风和脑成像研究领域的领先科学家。耶克斯中心在其P51母公司的资助下，为一个新兴的中风和脑成像项目(MRI和PET)开发了重要的基础设施支持，该项目基于对非人类灵长类动物的研究。 此外，我们在耶克斯建立了一个由初级研究人员组成的活跃研究小组，他们专注于使用脑成像技术在非人类灵长类动物中建立中风模型。我们在埃默里大学医学院有许多临床医生，他们积极参与我们的中风研究非人类灵长类动物模型项目。此外，我们在系统成像中心(CSI)的保护伞下与埃默里大学的其他几个成像小组进行了协作，该中心由埃默里放射学主席卡罗琳·梅尔策博士领导。我们与埃默里大学亚特兰大临床转化科学研究所(ACTSI；埃默里大学的CTSA)有着密切的联系。ACTSI帮助搭建了埃默里与亚特兰大其他几个研究机构之间的桥梁，特别是莫尔豪斯医学院和佐治亚理工学院。 我们正在完成招聘过程，相信中风/成像领域的领导者的出现不仅将对我们的研究计划产生积极影响，还将对我们的研究人员、学生的培训以及我们竞争拨款和奖励的能力产生积极影响。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. In line with the goals of our P51 parent grant, The Yerkes NPRC has successfully developed a program using nonhuman primate models and brain imaging technologies for studying stroke and stroke intervention. The focus of this program is related directly to the component of our P51 parent grant intended to enhance research applicable to the solution of human health problems, i.e., translational research. Specifically, funds were requested to recruit a leading scientist in the areas of stroke and brain imaging research. The Yerkes Center under its P51 parent grant has developed significant infrastructure support for an emerging stroke and brain imaging program (both MRI and PET) based on research with nonhuman primates. Additionally, we have established an active research group of junior investigators at Yerkes who focus on stroke models in nonhuman primates using brain imaging. We have a number of clinicians in the School of Medicine at Emory University who are strongly engaged in our program of nonhuman primate models for stroke research. Moreover, we link collaboratively to several other imaging groups throughout Emory University under the umbrella of the Center for Systems Imaging (CSI), headed by Dr. Carolyn Meltzer, the Chair of Emory Radiology. We are intimately linked to Emory University's Atlanta Clinical Translational Science Institute (ACTSI; Emory University's CTSA). The ACTSI has helped bridge ties between Emory and several other research institutes in Atlanta, in particular the Morehouse School of Medicine and Georgia Tech. We are completing the recruitment process and believe the presence of a leader in stroke/imaging will positively impact not only our research program, but also our training of researchers, students and our ability to compete for grants and awards.
