Training Program in Immunology and Inflammation

摘要 纽约大学医学院（NYUSoM）的免疫学和炎症培训计划提供了预防性治疗， 在免疫学和人类疾病之间的接口博士和博士后培训。的 该计划培养学生和博士后研究员在基础免疫学以及其在主机中的应用， 病原体相互作用、自身免疫和炎性疾病以及抗肿瘤免疫。长期 该计划的目标是在广泛的跨学科领域培养一批新的研究人员， 免疫学及其与炎症过程的关系。该计划的第一个周期支持 多名成功的学员，他们目前都在继续培训或就业，在学术 免疫学研究。该培训项目目前有30名教师谁是高产科学家 拥有丰富的指导经验。教师导师们都有一个共同的兴趣， 基本的免疫机制，以及这些机制的失调是如何通过遗传和 环境因素导致疾病。此外，NYUSoM正在进行其 免疫学研究基地，各级和通过多个部门和中心。人口的 现有的研究力量和免疫学领域的不断扩大，我们提出了一个培训 该计划有4个博士前和2个博士后职位。该计划补充和互动， 其他现有的培训计划，但提供了一个独特的课程和培训经验 在鼓励多样性的环境中举办严格的课程和研讨会。学员将获得 批判性地评估科学数据和文献的能力，并将发展他们的写作和演讲 通过参加免疫学研讨会系列，正在进行的工作介绍，期刊 俱乐部和年度务虚会。成功的受训者将代表新一代的科学家， 有助于开发治疗炎症性疾病的新疗法。

ABSTRACT The Immunology and Inflammation training program at NYU School of Medicine (NYUSoM) provides pre- doctoral and post-doctoral training at the interface between immunology and human disease. The Program trains students and postdoctoral fellows in basic immunology as well as its applications in host- pathogen interactions, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and antitumor immunity. A long-term goal of the program is to train a new cadre of researchers in the broad and interdisciplinary area of immunology and its relation to inflammatory processes. The first cycle of the program supported multiple successful trainees, all of whom currently continue training or employment in academic immunology research. The training program currently has 30 faculty who are highly productive scientists with extensive mentoring experience. The faculty mentors all share a common interest in understanding basic immunological mechanisms and how the dysregulation of these mechanisms by genetic and environmental factors leads to disease. In addition, NYUSoM is undertaking a major expansion of its immunology research base at all levels and through multiple departments and centers. To match this existing research strength and ongoing expansion in the field of immunology, we propose a training program with 4 pre-doctoral and 2 post-doctoral positions. The program complements and interacts with other existing training programs at NYUSoM, but provides a unique curriculum and training experience with rigorous courses and seminars in an environment that encourages diversity. Trainees will acquire the ability to critically evaluate scientific data and literature and will develop their writing and presentation skills through participation in the immunology seminar series, work-in-progress presentations, journal clubs and an annual retreat. The successful trainees will represent a new generation of scientists who can contribute to the development of novel therapies to treat inflammatory diseases.
