Training Program in Lung Biology and Disease

项目总结/摘要 这是继续在北京大学肺生物学和疾病博士后培训项目的申请 德克萨斯大学西南医学中心。培训将针对博士后一级， 除了任何相关的临床培训外，研究培训将为期两年。该提案源于 儿科和内科部门之间的合作努力涉及肺 研究在这个研究所，因此是跨部门的核心。我们的培训教师由经验丰富的 代表16个不同的临床和基础科学部门和中心的研究人员，形成了一个坚实的， 多样化的培训力量，分为四个主题轨道：1）肺血管疾病; 2）间质性肺 疾病; 3）肺上皮细胞和分化障碍;和4）免疫/炎症/脓毒症。除了 通过导师式教学，学员将获得全面的针对具体轨道和项目的教学课程。 临床和基础科学学员将由一个个性化的咨询委员会指导， 基础和临床科学导师，以拓宽受训者的视野，并促进工作台到床边 思维重点将放在项目重点的维护，创造性的实验设计， 艺术技术，以及精心的早期职业指导。

Project Summary/Abstract This is an application for continuation of the postdoctoral training program in lung biology and disease at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Training will be directed at the postdoctoral level, and the research training will be for two years in addition to any associated clinical training. The proposal is born out of a collaborative effort between divisions within the Pediatric and Internal Medicine departments involved in lung research at this institute, and is thus interdepartmental at its core. Our training faculty consist of experienced investigators representing 16 different clinical and basic science departments and centers, forming a solid, diverse training force, organized into four thematic tracks: 1) Pulmonary vascular disease; 2) Interstitial lung diseases; 3) Lung epithelial cell and differentiation disorders; and 4) Immunity/Inflammation/Sepsis. Besides mentor-based teaching, trainees will receive a comprehensive track- and project-specific didactic curriculum. Both clinical and basic science trainees will be guided by an individualized advisory committee that has both basic and clinical science mentors, to broaden the trainee's perspective and facilitate bench to bedside thinking. Emphasis will be placed on maintenance of project focus, creative experimental design, state of the art technology, and careful early career guidance.
