Graduate Training in the Pharmacological Sciences

项目摘要 现代药物的发现和开发需要培训了解药物的科学家。 药物作用和特异性的分子，生理和定量基础，以及谁可以应用现代 新的治疗策略的发展的技术和概念。这位多学科博士 药理学科学的培训计划旨在通过培养学生来帮助满足这一需求 在医学，牙科和药学院，在研究机构，以及在 政府或工业实验室。培训最重要的组成部分是实验室研究，首先是 作为一系列的研究轮换，然后在论文实验室。这项培训由核心 药理学课程，强调药物作用的定量分析，药代动力学，药物 处置，生物统计学和实验设计，除了道德培训，研讨会课程，期刊俱乐部， 和专业领域的高级课程。重点放在整个培训的严谨性和 可重复性，专业发展，研究道德和沟通技巧的完善。的54 培训教师代表埃默里大学的16个基础科学和临床部门，从而提供了一个 丰富多样的研究培训机会。这是一个新项目的申请， 取代目前的计划，已成功地培养了一批多样化的学生，为生物医学 劳动力在过去的二十年。我们计划继续我们的培训成功的记录，同时也 在培训中引入新的和创新的方面，同时建立循证机制， 学生和项目的成果。我们要求8个职位，与典型的任期 24个月。该计划的毕业生将获得广泛的熟悉药理学，深入 在论文研究领域的知识，以及技术，沟通和分析能力 在生物医学领域取得成功所必需的。该计划的受训人员进行的研究将 推进我们对疾病过程的了解，并有助于发现新的治疗策略 这将有利于我们公民的健康。通过培养年轻的科学家为国家的发展做出贡献， 通过在这些方面的努力，这项培训计划将有助于确保我们提高国民健康水平的能力。 在未来依然强大。

Project Summary Modern drug discovery and development require the training of scientists who understand the molecular, physiological and quantitative basis of drug action and specificity, and who can apply modern technologies and concepts to the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This multidisciplinary doctoral training program in the Pharmacological Sciences is designed to help meet that demand by preparing students for biomedical research careers in schools of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, in research institutes, and in governmental or industrial laboratories. The most important component of training is laboratory research, first as a series of research rotations, then in the dissertation laboratory. This training is complemented by core courses in pharmacology that emphasize quantitative analysis of drug action, pharmacokinetics, drug disposition, biostatistics and experimental design, in addition to ethics training, seminar courses, journal clubs, and advanced courses in specialty areas. Emphasis throughout is placed on training in rigor and reproducibility, professional development, research ethics, and the refinement of communication skills. The 54 training faculty members represent 16 basic science and clinical departments at Emory, thereby providing a wealth of diverse research training opportunities. This is an application for a new program, which would replace the current program that has successfully trained a diverse cohort of students for the biomedical workforce over the past two decades. We plan to continue our track record of training success while also introducing new and innovative aspects to the training together with evidence-based mechanisms to evaluate both student and program outcomes. We are requesting 8 positions, with the typical duration of appointment being 24 months. Graduates of this program will have acquired broad familiarity with pharmacology, deep knowledge in the area of dissertation research, and the technical, communicative and analytical skills necessary to succeed in the biomedical workforce. The research conducted by the trainees in this program will advance our knowledge of disease processes and contribute to the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies that will benefit the health of our citizens. By preparing young scientists to contribute to and lead the nation’s efforts in these areas, this training program will help to ensure that our ability to improve the nation’s health remains strong in the future.
