Vascular Surgery Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：T32血管外科教育与研究培训（VascTrain）项目旨在培训血管外科住院医师进行基础和临床心血管研究的基础知识。这将通过一个由一名首席培训师和一组副培训师组成的培训委员会来完成，培训计划将受到密切监督。培训计划以培训委员会和学员之间的互动为基础，以每周培训研究会议的形式进行。VascTrain计划被整合到血管外科住院医师计划中，所有住院医师都参加了为期两年的课程，旨在提供研究培训。寻求3个职位的资助，以支持将在3年血管外科或外科住院医师后进入该计划的学员。本项目将招收少量博士、博士后。重点研究领域是基于心血管疾病，其后果和治疗。一般研究领域包括内膜增生的发病机制和治疗、组织工程自体导管、组织缺血诱导的血管生成和伤口愈合、主动脉瘤进展和破裂的计算分析、心血管成像、心血管疾病流行病学和药物治疗。该计划介绍了血管生物学研究的多学科方法和临床/转化研究的专用方法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 Vascular Surgery Education and Research Training (VascTrain) Program is designed to train vascular surgery residents in the fundamentals of basic and clinical cardiovascular research. This will be accomplished using a training committee comprised of a principal trainer and a team of associate trainers in a closely supervised training program. The training scheme is based on interactions between the training committee and the trainee in the form of weekly training research sessions. The VascTrain Program is integrated into a Vascular Surgery residency program where all residents participate in a 2 year curriculum designed to provide research training. Funding for 3 positions is sought to support trainees who will enter the program after 3 years of vascular surgery or surgery residency. A few PhD post-doctoral fellows will be accepted into this program. The research areas of focus are based on cardiovascular diseases, its consequences and its treatments. General areas of investigation include the pathogenesis and treatment of intimal hyperplasia, tissue engineered autologous conduits, tissue ischemia induced angiogenesis and wound healing, computational analysis of aortic aneurysm progress and rupture, cardiovascular imaging, epidemiology of cardiovascular disease, and pharmacotherapeutics. The program introduces a multidisciplinary approach to vascular biology research and a dedicated approach to clinical/translational research.
