Training Program in Neuroimmunology

神经免疫学是对免疫系统和中枢神经系统之间相互作用的跨学科研究。 神经系统与健康和疾病。俄亥俄州立大学韦克斯纳医疗中心是一家独特的培训机构 因为拟议培训方案的教员导师具有以下专业知识 涵盖基础和临床神经免疫学的所有主要方面。这笔培训补助金的目标是提供 神经免疫学领域内关键相关领域的综合培训，包括 神经创伤、自身免疫、压力、神经发育、衰老和生物节律。学生们将进入 在他们成功完成候选人资格考试之前不久或之后不久。这些 学生将有机会在一个高度协作的研究环境中工作， 导师和临床伙伴关系。因此，我们在跨越边界方面是全国独一无二的 传统的神经科学和免疫学培训，因此定位于为学生提供非凡的 神经免疫学方面的培训经验将超越传统的培训经验 目前存在于“保护伞”研究生培训计划中。受训者将参与独特的特定计划 学习和专业发展经验，包括课程作业、临床经验/指导、 以及与神经免疫学领域的学者建立专业网络。这些受训人员将对 基于高级研究生培训经验的国家神经科学和免疫学社区 通过临床配对的翻译体验，这一点得到了加强。我们的TPNI学生将定位于 作为博士后研究员表现出色，并将在未来的教师职位上具有竞争力。

Neuroimmunology is the interdisciplinary study of interactions between the immune system and the central nervous system in health and disease. The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center is a unique training environment in this context because the faculty mentors of the proposed training program have expertise that covers all major aspects of basic and clinical Neuroimmunology. The goal of this training grant is to provide comprehensive training across key areas of relevance within the field of neuroimmunology including neurotrauma, autoimmunity, stress, neural development, aging, and biological rhythms. Students will enter the program either soon before or immediately after successful completion of their candidacy exam. These students will have an opportunity to work in a highly collaborative research environment with established mentors and clinical partnerships. Thus, we are unique nationally in terms of crossing the boundaries of traditional neuroscience and immunology training, and therefore are positioned to offer students an exceptional training experience in Neuroimmunology that will extend beyond the conventional training experiences that currently exist within “umbrella” graduate training programs. Trainees will engage in unique program-specific learning and professional development experiences including course-work, clinical experiences/mentorship, and professional networking with scholars in the Neuroimmunology field. These trainees will be a benefit to the national neuroscience and immunology communities based on their advanced graduate training experience that is augmented by a translational experience with the clinical pairing. Our TPNI students will be positioned to excel as post-doctoral fellows and will be competitive for future faculty positions.
