UCSD Dermatologist Investigator Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在在加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）建立一个皮肤病学研究者培训计划，以培训有前途的博士前和博士后学生，并为他们在皮肤病学研究方面的富有成效的学术生涯做好准备。近年来，UCSD的皮肤研究非常富有成效，我们组织了优秀的教师，他们在指导和进行皮肤生物学方面的突破性前沿研究方面有着良好的记录。该计划的目标是利用我们无与伦比的机构科学资源，皮肤病学研究人员的资金充足的基础和装备精良的中央现代化实验室空间超过8000平方米。英尺我们的计划建议使用这些来培训未来急需的皮肤生物学独立研究人员。我们的核心皮肤科教师将在培训中得到积极合作的基础科学研究人员网络的协助， 在皮肤病学方面有着良好的出版记录，并有着悠久的成功指导历史。这些科学教师将立即为我们提供博士前和博士后学生的临界质量，以推动充满活力的培训计划。UCSD皮肤病学研究者培训计划将通过与优秀临床研究者的正式合作导师计划进一步丰富，从而推动博士生研究成为基础研究项目转化应用的机会。重点将放在我们的领导在皮肤炎症，感染和表皮遗传学和发展进行研究。有前途的学员将通过积极的招聘计划，为医生，科学家，妇女和少数民族，一个积极的研讨会和教学系列，并在圣地亚哥生物医学界正在进行的丰富计划确定。这些优势将确保我们的最终目标是激励和为下一代研究性皮肤病学的学术研究人员提供出色的培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks to establish a Dermatology Investigator Training Program at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to train promising pre-doctoral and post- doctoral students and prepare them for a productive academic career in investigative dermatology. Skin research at UCSD has been extraordinarily productive in recent years and we have organized outstanding faculty with a proven track record in mentorship and conducting ground-breaking cutting edge research in skin biology. The goals of this program are to take advantage of our unparalleled institutional scientific resources, a well-funded base of dermatology research faculty and outstandingly equipped centralized modern laboratory space of over 8000 sq. ft. Our program proposes to use these to train much-needed future independent research investigators in skin biology. Our core dermatology faculty will be assisted in training by a network of actively collaborating basic science investigators that have a proven publication record in dermatology and a long history of successful mentorship. Together, these scientific faculty will immediately provide us with a critical mass of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students to drive a vibrant training program. The UCSD Dermatology Investigator Training Program will be further enriched by a formalized co-mentorship program with outstanding clinical investigators, thus propelling PhD student research into opportunities for translational application of basic research projects. Emphasis will be placed in our leadership in conducting research in skin inflammation, infection and epidermal genetics and development. Promising trainees will be identified by an active recruitment program for physician-scientists, women and minorities, an active seminar and didactic series, and ongoing enrichment programs within the San Diego biomedical community. These strengths will ensure our ultimate goal to inspire and provide outstanding training for the next generation of academic researchers in investigative dermatology.
