Interdisciplinary Training in Lung Physiology and Biomedical Engineering

描述（由申请人提供）：梅奥诊所的生理与生物医学工程系（BME）有着悠久而丰富的历史，在越来越多的技术和复杂的生物医学研究环境中为博士生和博士后的学术生涯做准备。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，将为与肺部疾病相关的生物医学研究创造一支独特的未来领导者队伍。我们计划招收：1)通过梅奥研究生（博士生）和医学（MD/博士生）学院招收博士预科学生；2)在学院实验室工作或申请进入学院实验室的博士后；3)博士后医学博士或医学博士/博士临床科学家，来自参与临床科室（特别是麻醉科、肺科/重症监护科、放射科）的大量住院医师或研究员，15名nih资助的重点教师导师和3名博士后实习生（拥有博士和/或医学博士）。从一群竞争激烈的合格候选人中（外科）。总共根据他们优秀的预科生和实习生4名入选，再加上资金。在肺生理学和生物医学工程培训计划的支持下，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养三组从事肺生理学和疾病生物医学研究的学员：1)具有工程、数学或物理本科背景的博士预科（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；3)博士后医学博士或医学博士/博士临床科学家。为了实现我们的目标，我们要求支持3名博士生预科生（博士或医学博士/博士）博士后培训记录，并根据他们在独立学术生涯中取得成功的可观前景，以及他们对指导下一代生物医学科学家（肺生理学和BME）的奉献精神，他们在生物医学研究方面具有丰富的经验，并在生理和疾病方面表现出领导能力，以支持副教员的能力。该项目将由Gary Sieck博士（研究生和研究生教育部门的教授和主席，以及部门，机构和国家的行政部门）领导。除了在肺生理学和BME方面的普通正式教学项目外，学员的个人需求将通过选修课程来满足。学员还将接受撰写稿件和申请拨款的培训。此外，将鼓励他们通过在区域、国家和国际会议上发言建立网络并参与科学界。培训计划的成功与否将取决于受训者能否在学术界的各个职业发展阶段得到保留和安置，并最终成为获得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.
