Training In Multi-modality Molecular & Translational Cardiovascular Imaging

描述（由申请人提供）： 随着成像技术和分子医学的进步，出现了更复杂的问题，往往需要多个学科的观点融合。心血管成像的未来很可能由具有不同专业知识的综合多学科团队来实践。该研究培训计划的目标是为持有MD或/和博士学位的高素质研究员提供分子和翻译心血管成像的多学科博士后多模态培训，为作为心血管成像高度临床相关领域的独立研究者的学术生涯做准备。将鼓励临床和基础科学部门的申请，特别注意少数民族，残疾人和弱势候选人的招聘。我们预计每年将有4名博士后申请者报名参加该项目，医生和科学家之间保持平衡。博士后奖学金培训将持续2-3年。博士后培养将有三个主要研究重点，1）心血管分子成像，2）心血管成像技术和分析，3）平移心血管成像。该计划的主要教师来自耶鲁大学工程与应用科学学院以及耶鲁大学医学院的多个部门，包括：内科（心血管医学科），诊断放射学，外科，麻醉学和治疗放射学。赞助教师的选择是基于校外支持，研究生产力和对多学科培训的承诺。学员的进度将由个人导师、学员咨询委员会和项目主管监督。Sinusas博士和邓肯将共同管理该计划，以确保在相关的临床和工程科学的申请人的培训的平衡和整合。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As imaging technology and molecular medicine advances, more complex questions arise often requiring the convergence of perspectives from multiple disciplines. The future of cardiovascular imaging will most likely be practiced by integrated multidisciplinary teams with diverse expertise. The goal of this research training program is to provide multi-disciplinary post-doctoral multi-modality training in molecular and translational cardiovascular imaging for highly qualified fellows holding either a MD or/and PhD, in preparation for academic careers as independent investigators in the highly clinically relevant field of cardiovascular imaging. Applications will be encouraged from both clinical and basic science departments, with particular attention to the recruitment of minority, disabled, and disadvantaged candidates. We anticipate enrollment of 4 post-doctoral applicants each year into the programs, with an equal balance between physicians and scientists. Post-doctoral fellowship training will be 2-3 years in duration. There will be three primary research focuses in the post-doctoral training, 1) cardiovascular molecular imaging, 2) cardiovascular imaging technologies and analyses, and 3) translational cardiovascular imaging. The primary faculty for this program are from the Yale School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and from multiple departments within the Yale School of Medicine, including: Internal Medicine (Section of Cardiovascular Medicine), Diagnostic Radiology, Surgery, Anesthesiology, and Therapeutic Radiology. The sponsoring faculty was selected based on extramural support, research productivity, and commitment to multi-disciplinary training. Trainee progress will be monitored by individual mentors, the trainee's advisory committee, and the Program Directors. Drs. Sinusas and Duncan will co-manage the program to assure a balance and integration of the training of applicants in the relevant clinical and engineering sciences.
