Emory Acute Lung Injury Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：这个新的Emory急性肺损伤培训计划是由一个多样化和富有成效的教师导师小组组成的，他们的共同目标是培养博士后翻译研究人员，他们可以改变我们预测、检测 并在脆弱人群中预防严重的肺部疾病。该计划将从四个博士后培训时段开始，用于支持博士和医学博士在儿科和成人肺部生物学方面的研究培训，重点是阐明氧化应激使肺容易受到损伤和感染的常见机制。此外，两个短期职位将用于支持少数族裔医学生，并向他们介绍翻译研究，从而为他们在医疗职业生涯中走上这条道路提供必要的兴奋和鼓励。该计划将由儿科和新生儿科的Lou Ann Brown博士以及医学部和肺、过敏和重症护理医学部的David Guidot医学博士指导。他们从医学院的儿科和医学系以及罗林斯公共卫生学院的生物统计学和流行病学系招募了一支多学科的导师队伍。博士后医学博士研究生将从儿科和医学系的杰出奖学金培训计划中招募。博士后研究员将从国家合格候选人人才库以及埃默里大学兰尼研究生院不同生物医学学科的当地竞争性毕业生人才库中招聘。这两名短期暑期研究少数族裔学生将从莫尔豪斯医学院招募，该学院的项目主任与学生事务主任建立了良好的关系，并在过去五年中与他们的顶尖学生进行了大量的培训。(摘要结束)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new Emory Acute Lung Injury Training Program is being formed by a diverse and productive group of faculty mentors with the common goal of training post-doctoral translational investigators who can transform our ability to predict, detect and prevent serious lung diseases in vulnerable populations. The Program will begin with four post-doctoral training slots that will be used to support research training for PhD and MD scientists in both pediatric and adult lung biology with a distinct focus on elucidating the common mechanisms by which oxidative stress renders the lung susceptible to injury and infection. In addition, two short-term positions will be used to support minority medical students and introduce them to translational research and thereby impart the excitement and encouragement necessary for them to pursue this pathway in their medical careers. The Program will be directed by Lou Ann Brown, PhD from the Department of Pediatrics and the Division of Neonatology and by David Guidot, MD from the Department of Medicine and the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine. They have enlisted a multidisciplinary faculty of mentors from the Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine within the School of Medicine, as well as from the Departments of Biostatistics and Epidemiology within the Rollins School of Public Health. Post-doctoral MD fellows will be recruited from the outstanding fellowship training programs in the Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine. Post-doctoral PhD fellows will be recruited from the national pool of qualified candidates as well as from the local pool of competitive graduates from diverse biomedical disciplines within the Laney Graduate School at Emory University. The two short-term summer research minority students will be recruited from the Morehouse School of Medicine where the Program Directors have an established relationship with the Dean of Student Affairs and a substantial training history with their top students over the past five years.
