项目摘要

The University of Michigan-NIEHS Center is a new entity that will bring together basic and translational scientists into a partnership focused on the theme of "Lifestage Exposures and Adult Disease". The mission is to promote translational research using novel multi-disciplinary approaches to understand the impact of environmental exposures on adult chronic disease through mechanisms involving epigenetic modifications during vulnerable stages of life. This is the culmination of a 2-year planning process of building collaborations (including a major partnership with the CTSA) and functioning as a de-facto preliminary Center. The robust base of research includes projects addressing a variety of environmental toxicants, a large portfolio of cohort studies (and associated biorepositories) spanning the age spectrum, disease-specific research Centers (and associated tissue banks), and basic research on epigenetic mechanisms. In this revised application, the investigators retain their recognized strengths while increasing their focus, decreasing their targeted areas from 6 to 3, each now associated with a Research Team with senior leadership, and decreasing their membership by almost 40%. The investigators' Research Teams will focus on "Epigenetic Regulation", "Oxidative Stress" and "Endocrine Disruptors", subthemes that build off of the Center's strengths. The work starts with an initial emphasis on four diseases well-represented in the investigators' current research portfolio (asthma, prematurity, metabolic syndrome, and neurodegenerative disease), with the flexibility to expand as the Center grows and matures. The Center will sponsor seminars; a Pilot Project Program that capitalizes on major institutional leveraging; outstanding young Center scientists; and outreach and education to the broader scientific and lay community. The research will be facilitated by an Administrative Core and five service cores related to Exposures, Biological Responses, Integrative Health Sciences, Environmental Statistics and Bioinformatics. The Integrated Health Sciences Core will manage a web-based portal providing an innovative interactive kiosk for obtaining critical information on the resources, Core facilities, and tools for research. Core faculty will also provide "translational services", for consulting on the design of translational research and use of their biorepositories and Core facilities. A revised Community Outreach and Education Core will work with the investigators and a Stakeholder Advisory Board to engage in an enhanced range of activities. Administration of the Center will be facilitated by an active Executive Committee and outstanding scientists serving on the External Advisory Committee.

密歇根大学niehs中心是一个新的实体，它将把基础科学家和转化科学家聚集在一起，以“生命阶段暴露和成人疾病”为主题。使命是促进转化研究，使用新的多学科方法，通过涉及生命脆弱阶段表观遗传修饰的机制，了解环境暴露对成人慢性病的影响。这是建立合作（包括与CTSA的主要伙伴关系）并作为事实上的初步中心运作的2年规划过程的高潮。强大的研究基础包括解决各种环境毒物的项目，跨越年龄谱的大量队列研究（和相关的生物库），疾病特定研究中心（和相关的组织库），以及表观遗传机制的基础研究。在这个修订后的应用程序中，研究人员保留了他们公认的优势，同时增加了他们的重点，将他们的目标领域从6个减少到3个，每个人现在都与一个有高级领导的研究小组联系在一起，并减少了近40%的成员。研究者的研究团队将专注于“表观遗传调控”、“氧化应激”和“内分泌干扰物”，这些都是建立在中心优势之上的子主题。这项工作从研究人员目前的研究组合中最具代表性的四种疾病（哮喘、早产、代谢综合征和神经退行性疾病）开始，随着中心的发展和成熟，该工作将具有扩展的灵活性。中心将主办研讨会；利用重大机构杠杆作用的试点项目计划；中心优秀青年科学家；以及向更广泛的科学和非专业群体进行推广和教育。这项研究将由一个行政核心和五个与暴露、生物反应、综合健康科学、环境统计和生物信息学有关的服务核心促进。综合健康科学核心将管理一个基于网络的门户网站，提供一个创新的交互式信息亭，用于获取有关资源、核心设施和研究工具的关键信息。核心教师还将提供“转化服务”，为转化研究的设计和生物库和核心设施的使用提供咨询。修订后的社区外展和教育核心将与调查人员和利益攸关方咨询委员会合作，参与范围更广的活动。中心的管理将由一个积极的执行委员会和在外部咨询委员会任职的杰出科学家来促进。
