DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks support to establish a new post-doctoral training program in the field of trauma medicine. The program is motivated by the growing integrative cross-disciplinary basic, clinical and translational research in the molecular pathogenesis and treatment of injury and is the outgrowth of well-established formal graduate courses(Appendix I-3) and research programs in tissue injury and repair at the University of Chicago. Our programmatic growth is driven by the large potential clinical impact resulting from research advances into new molecular regeneration trauma therapies, Molecular regeneration of cellular membranes and protein structure as an approach to trauma research had its beginnings at the University of Chicago more than 21 years ago and has now widely validated and emerging as a self-sustaining field of research . Today, there is sufficient established derivative research across various universities and companies to justify a formal educational program. Reversing the consequences of trauma requires recovery of the lost barrier function of membranes, reformation of native macromolecular structure, control of oxygen biochemistry, nucleic acid repair, and reestablishment of metabolic energy charge. New investigators in this new field must have competences in cellular physiology, membrane biophysics, protein chemistry, oxygen biochemistry, nucleic acid repair, animal research methods, clinical research guidelines, as well as computational and diagnostic imaging of molecular function. The proposed training program meets these requirements. The University of Chicago's Biological Sciences Division is an ideal site to launch such a training program. First, the University has well established and well funded research programs covering all of the mentioned areas mentioned and more. The research efforts here are interdisciplinary and integrated, setting the stage for discovery. There are many state of the art core facilities that are detailed in the proposal. Moreover, trainees will have access to a recently NIH grant funded super-computer with capabilities unprecedented in biomedicine to model molecular dynamics of trauma and behavior of synthetic chaperones to regenerate normal molecular structure. In addition, we already have in place a multi-year history of teaching now required graduate courses specifically focused on cell injury co-taught by the training program mentors.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求支持，以建立一个新的创伤医学领域的博士后培训计划。该计划的动机是不断增长的综合性跨学科的基础，临床和转化研究的分子发病机制和治疗损伤，是成熟的正式研究生课程（附录I-3）和研究计划在组织损伤和修复在芝加哥大学的产物。我们的计划增长是由新的分子再生创伤疗法的研究进展所产生的巨大潜在临床影响所驱动的，细胞膜和蛋白质结构的分子再生作为创伤研究的一种方法，在芝加哥大学开始于21年前，现在已经被广泛验证并成为一个自我维持的研究领域。今天，在各个大学和公司中有足够的衍生研究来证明正式的教育计划是合理的。逆转创伤的后果需要恢复失去的膜屏障功能，重组天然大分子结构，控制氧生物化学，核酸修复和重建代谢能荷。在这个新领域的新研究人员必须有能力在细胞生理学，膜生物物理学，蛋白质化学，氧生物化学，核酸修复，动物研究方法，临床研究指南，以及分子功能的计算和诊断成像。拟议的培训方案符合这些要求。 芝加哥大学的生物科学部是一个理想的网站，推出这样的培训计划。首先，该大学拥有完善的和资金充足的研究计划，涵盖了所有提到的领域和更多。这里的研究工作是跨学科和综合的，为发现奠定了基础。提案中详细介绍了许多最先进的核心设施。此外，受训人员将有机会使用最近由NIH资助的超级计算机，该计算机具有生物医学领域前所未有的能力，可以模拟创伤的分子动力学和合成分子伴侣的行为，以再生正常的分子结构。此外，我们已经有了多年的教学历史，现在需要研究生课程，专门侧重于由培训计划导师共同教授的细胞损伤。
