Interdisciplinary Training in Lung Physiology and Biomedical Engineering

描述（由申请人提供）：生理学和生物医学工程（BME）在马约诊所的部门有一个准备前和博士后学生在生物医学研究环境中的学术生涯的悠久而丰富的历史，这是越来越多的技术和复杂。我们坚信，采用鼓励和培养生物医学研究技能以及计算，数学和工程技能的新方法的培训补助金将在与肺部疾病相关的生物医学研究中创造一个独特的未来领导者干部。不同的背景，我们计划招募：1）通过马约研究生博士预科学生（博士生）和医学（MD/PhD学生）学校; 2）博士后PhD科学家从申请人工作或申请到教师实验室;和3）博士后医学博士或医学博士/博士临床科学家，来自参与临床部门的大量居民或研究员（特别是麻醉学，肺/重症监护，放射学15 NIH资助的关键教师导师和3博士后学员（博士和/或医学博士）。从一个高度竞争的合格候选人池与外科）。根据他们优秀的预培训生和培训生4名，总共选出了4名。 在肺生理学和生物医学工程培训计划的主持下，我们提出了一个多方面的计划，以培养下一代肺生理学和疾病的生物医学研究人员。培训计划的主要目标是培训三组学员从事肺生理学和疾病的生物医学研究职业：1）具有工程、数学或物理学本科背景的博士预科博士（或MD/PhD）学生; 2）具有工程、数学、物理或基础生物医学背景的博士后博士科学家; 3）博士后MD或MD/PhD临床医生-科学家。为了实现我们的目标，我们正在申请3名博士生的支持（博士或医学博士/博士）博士后培训记录和他们的能力，以支持助理教师的基础上，他们相当大的承诺，成功的独立学术生涯和他们的奉献精神，指导下一代生物医学科学家在肺生理学和BME）选择他在生物医学研究方面拥有丰富的经验，并在生理学和疾病方面表现出领导力。该计划将由博士领导加里Sieck（教授和研究生和研究生教育部主席，以及在部门，机构和国家的管理。除了肺生理学和BME的普通正式教学计划外，还将通过选修课程满足学员的个人需求。学员还将接受撰写论文和申请赠款的培训。此外，还将鼓励他们通过在区域、国家和国际会议上发言，与科学界建立联系并参与其中。培训计划的成功将取决于学员在学术界的职业发展的各个层面的保留和安置，并最终成为既定的，校外资助的生物医学研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Physiology & Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Mayo Clinic has a long and rich history of preparing pre- and postdoctoral students for academic careers in a biomedical research environment that is increasingly more technological and complex. We strongly believe that a training grant that takes the novel approach of encouraging and nurturing biomedical research skills alongside computational, mathematical and engineering skills will create a unique cadre of future leaders in biomedical research related to lung disease. diverse backgrounds, we plan to recruit: 1) Predoctoral students via the Mayo Graduate (PhD students) and Medical (MD/PhD students) Schools; 2) Postdoctoral PhD scientists from applicants working in or applying to faculty laboratories; and 3) Postdoctoral MD or MD/PhD clinician-scientists from the large pool of residents or fellows from participating clinical departments (especially Anesthesiology, Pulmonary/Critical Care, Radiology 15 NIH-funded key faculty mentors and 3 postdoctoral trainees (with PhD and/or MD). From a pool of highly competitive eligible candidates with and Surgery). A total of were selected based on their outstanding pre- and trainees 4 addition, in funding. extramural via Under the auspices of the Training Program in Lung Physiology and Biomedical Engineering we propose a multifaceted program to train the next generation of biomedical researchers in lung physiology and disease. The primary objectives of the training program will be to train three groups of trainees for biomedical research careers in lung physiology and disease: 1) Predoctoral PhD (or MD/PhD) students with undergraduate backgrounds in engineering, mathematics or physics; 2) Postdoctoral PhD scientists with backgrounds in engineering, mathematics, physics or basic biomedical sciences; and 3) Postdoctoral MD or MD/PhD clinician- scientists. To achieve our objectives, we are requesting support for 3 predoctoral students (PhD or MD/PhD) postdoctoral training records and their abilities to support associate faculty members were selected based on their considerable promise for successful independent academic careers and their dedication to mentoring the next generation of biomedical scientists in lung Physiology & BME) who has extensive experience in biomedical research and demonstrated leadership in physiology and disease. The program will be led by Dr. Gary Sieck (Professor and Chair of the Department of graduate and postgraduate education as well as administration at the departmental, institutional and national. In addition to a common formal didactic program in lung physiology and BME, individual trainee needs will be met by elective coursework. Trainees will also receive training in writing manuscripts and grant applications. Furthermore, they will be encouraged to network and become involved in the scientific community through presentations at regional, national and international meetings. Success of the training program will be determined by retention and placement of trainees in academia at all levels of career development and ultimately as established, extramurally-funded biomedical researchers.
