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.

摘要 纽约大学医学院(NYUSoM)的免疫学和炎症培训计划提供 在免疫学和人类疾病之间进行博士和博士后培训。这个 该项目培训学生和博士后基础免疫学及其在宿主中的应用。 病原体相互作用，自身免疫和炎症性疾病，以及抗肿瘤免疫。一个长期的 该方案的目标是培养一支新的研究队伍，在广泛和跨学科的领域 免疫学及其与炎症过程的关系。该计划的第一个周期得到支持 多名成功的实习生，他们目前都在继续接受培训或在学术领域就业 免疫学研究。该培训计划目前有30名教职员工，他们都是高生产率的科学家 有丰富的指导经验。教员导师都有一个共同的兴趣，就是理解 基本的免疫学机制以及这些机制的失调是如何通过遗传和 环境因素会导致疾病。此外，NYUSoM正在进行大规模的扩张 各级免疫学研究基地，通过多个部门和中心。与此相匹配 现有的研究实力和不断扩大的免疫学领域，我们建议培训 该项目有4个博士后和2个博士后职位。该程序与以下各项互补和交互 NYUSoM的其他现有培训计划，但提供独特的课程和培训体验 在一个鼓励多样性的环境中提供严格的课程和研讨会。学员将获得 对科学数据和文献进行批判性评估的能力，并将发展其写作和表达能力 通过参加免疫学系列研讨会、正在进行的工作演示、期刊 俱乐部和一年一度的静修。成功的实习生将代表新一代科学家 有助于开发治疗炎症性疾病的新疗法。
