Indiana University Kidney Training Program (IU-KTP)

描述：印第安纳大学医学院肾脏研究计划的目标是 翻译肾脏研究的研究培训是提供一个高度综合的、多学科的 增加学员对基础和临床肾脏保持兴趣的可能性的经验 研究。Iu-KTP已经做好了准备，将培养下一代科学家，领导阻止 通过个性化的诊断方法增加肾脏疾病并降低医疗保健成本 治疗。重要的是，我们的计划将为学员提供学习成人和儿科的机会 肾脏疾病与T1-T4翻译研究领域的合作，以带来新的 肾脏病领域的治疗和创新。这一新计划利用了IUSM在这方面的优势 医学研究的关键领域，由来自8个不同部门的30名教师导师直接支持 合计超过3000万美元的年度直接外部资金。这些国家和国际领导人 在尖端、机械研究以及博士和医学博士和医学博士研究生培养方面有出色的记录 博士生。研究培训机会大致分为三个方案 突出伊利诺伊大学肾脏疾病合作研究的主题：肾脏疾病的发病机制 (Aki，糖尿病，肾结石，儿童泌尿系疾病)，诊断和精确医学 治疗和CKD的并发症(CKD-矿物性骨病、不动和药物分配)。 这些方案主题利用了我们的成人和儿科肾病学部门，允许受训人员 获得创新的技术和方法，并得到机构资源的支持。Iu-KTP 该计划将建立在1)美国国立卫生研究院资助的成人和儿科成功和创新研究的基础上 肾脏学计划，2)以NIDDK资助的最先进的肾脏成像技术为中心 乔治·奥布莱恩中心；3)印第安纳大学和各分部强大的精确学基础设施， 4)我们的翻译方法由我们令人印象深刻的肾脏病临床研究基础设施和我们的 全国知名的CTSI和5)印第安纳大学管理学院校园调查人员的合作精神。重要的是， 支持IU-KTP学员的优秀科学培训环境将进一步扩大， 全面、综合和正式的职业发展计划，其长期目标是 个人成为下一代肾脏研究人员、领导者和导师。

DESCRIPTION: The goal of the Indiana University School of Medicine’s Kidney Research Program for Research Training in Translational Kidney Research is to provide a highly integrative, multi-disciplinary experience that increases the probability that trainees will maintain an interest in basic and clinical kidney research. The IU-KTP is well poised to train the next generation of scientists to lead the charge in halting the increase in kidney disease and reduce health care costs by personalizing the approach to diagnosis and treatment. Importantly, our program will afford Trainees the opportunity to study both Adult and Pediatric Kidney Diseases with collaboration along the T1-T4 translational research spectrum in order to bring new therapies and innovations to the field of Nephrology. This new program capitalizes on IUSM’s strength in this critical area of medical research and is directly supported by 30 faculty mentors from 8 different departments with collectively over $30 million in direct annual extramural funding. These national and international leaders have outstanding track records in cutting edge, mechanistic research and in the training of PhD and MD post- doctoral fellows. The research training opportunities are broadly categorized across three programmatic themes that highlight the collaborative research in kidney disease at IU: The pathogenesis of kidney disease (AKI, diabetes, kidney stones, childhood urologic disorders), precision medicine of diagnostics and therapeutics, and complications of CKD (CKD-mineral bone disorder, immobility, and drug dispensation). These programmatic themes capitalize on our Adult and Pediatric Divisions of Nephrology that allow trainees access to innovative technologies and methodologies, augmented by Institutional Resources. The IU-KTP program will build upon 1) The successful and innovative NIH funded research in our Adult and Pediatric Nephrology programs, 2) Our state of the art kidney imaging techniques centered with the NIDDK funded George O’Brien Center; 3) The robust precision ‘omics’ infrastructure at Indiana University and in the Divisions, 4) Our translational approaches fueled by our impressive clinical research infrastructure in Nephrology and our nationally renowned CTSI and 5) The collaborative spirit of IU SOM campus investigators. Importantly, the outstanding scientific training environment supporting IU-KTP Trainees will be further augmented by a comprehensive, integrative, and formal career development program with the long-term goal of these individuals becoming the next generation of Kidney Researchers, Leaders and Mentors.
