PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This proposal requests support for Years 15-20 of the T32 Training Program in Microbial Pathogenesis, a highly successful program that incorporates researchers from 11 departments at the University of Utah. This program was initially an outgrowth of the twice-monthly Microbial Pathogenesis Seminar Series (MPSS), which brought together basic scientists and clinician scientists in Microbiology and Immunology for regular, highly engaging research presentations. Since its inception 14 years ago, the Training Program has sponsored 3 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral trainees annually. Predoctoral trainees enter graduate school primarily through the Molecular Biology umbrella program, where they are supported for one year while taking rigorous core courses and selecting a thesis laboratory. Predoctoral trainees are selected after entering a laboratory associated with a T32 mentor, while postdoctoral trainees may be recruited from within or outside of the University to work in T32 mentor labs. The Training Program provides many opportunities for exposure of the trainees and the broader community to cutting edge research. Program-sponsored activities include the MPSS, the Microbial Pathogenesis Retreat, the Summer Journal Club, the Clinical-Microbiology Combined Conference, and advanced courses in Bacterial Pathogenesis, Molecular Virology, and Immunology. Critical to the training environment are trainee opportunities for interaction with MPSS speakers who have a variety of research and health perspectives, and the opportunity to host distinguished speakers. Each of the trainees also present their research at the Training Grant Annual Retreat, providing them with an opportunity for exposure to the greater microbial pathogenesis community on campus and to receive feedback from the external scientists. Trainees also present important new discoveries in the Summer Journal Club. Initiated in 2013, the Clinical-Microbiology Combined Conference with the Infectious Disease Fellows in Medicine highlights the clinical manifestation of infectious diseases with mechanistic understanding of microbial virulence factors. Throughout the Training Grant’s history, the trainees have established a record of high impact publications and most are pursuing careers in areas of biomedical research and teaching. The various components of the Training Program clearly serve as the nexus of Microbial Pathogenesis on this campus. This Microbial Pathogenesis community at the University of Utah has grown substantially in recent years, further enhancing the environment of the supported T32 trainees.

项目总结/摘要 该提案要求支持T32微生物发病机制培训计划的第15-20年， 该项目非常成功，汇集了来自犹他州大学11个系的研究人员。这 该计划最初是每月两次的微生物发病机制研讨会系列（MPSS）的产物， 汇集了微生物学和免疫学的基础科学家和临床科学家， 参与研究报告。自14年前成立以来，该培训计划已赞助了3 每年有3名博士生和3名博士后。博士预科生进入研究生院主要是通过 分子生物学伞计划，在那里他们得到一年的支持，同时采取严格的核心 课程和选择论文实验室。博士前培训生在进入实验室后被选中 与T32导师相关，而博士后培训生可以从内部或外部招募。 大学在T32导师实验室工作。培训计划提供了许多机会， 学员和更广泛的社会前沿研究。方案赞助的活动包括MPSS， 微生物发病机制务虚会，夏季杂志俱乐部，临床微生物学结合 会议，并在细菌发病机制，分子病毒学和免疫学的高级课程。的关键 培训环境是学员与MPSS演讲者互动的机会， 研究和健康观点，并有机会接待杰出的演讲者。每一个受训者 他们还在培训补助金年度务虚会上展示他们的研究，为他们提供一个机会， 接触到更大的微生物发病机制社区在校园里，并从反馈 外部科学家学员还在夏季期刊俱乐部展示重要的新发现。年启动 2013年，临床微生物学与医学传染病研究员联合会议 强调感染性疾病的临床表现与微生物的机制理解 毒力因子在培训补助金的历史上，学员们创造了一个高记录， 影响力的出版物，大多数人正在追求生物医学研究和教学领域的职业生涯。的各种 培训计划的组成部分显然是这个校园微生物发病机制的纽带。 近年来，犹他州大学的微生物致病菌群有了长足的发展， 进一步改善T32学员的学习环境。
