项目摘要

Project Summary The Northwestern Postgraduate Training Program in Cutaneous Biology (NPTCB) seeks to train highly motivated postdoctoral fellows for an academic career focused on cutaneous biology. The NPTCB provides an integrated curriculum designed to: 1) educate trainees in critical thinking, writing/presentation skills, the peer-review pro- cess, and the responsible conduct of research; and 2) provide stage-appropriate mentorship to ensure profes- sional development. These aims are achieved through frequent reviews with the Primary Mentor and Mentorship Committees as well as participation in formal didactics and seminars. Our Primary Mentors come from an inter- disciplinary cohort of internationally recognized scientists (and mentors-in-training) focused on cutaneous biol- ogy. These scientific leaders, who will serve as the primary mentors for our trainees, have appointments not only in the Department of Dermatology, but also in other elite departments in the university (among them Medicine, Microbiology/Immunology, Biomedical Engineering, and Chemistry). Their research spans one or more of the five areas of research concentration highlighted in this renewal application: 1) Biomedical Engineering and Aug- mented Intelligence, 2) Nanotechnology, 3) Genomics/Epigenomics, 4) Skin Immunology, and 5) Cell and De- velopmental Biology of the Skin. In addition, our trainees have a mentorship committee that includes a Resource Faculty member (an internationally recognized scientist with recognized mentoring skills) and a member of the NUPTCB Career Development and Retention Committee. The “in lab training” will be supplemented by a formal program of educational enrichment activities. This includes didactic coursework and a wide variety of seminars that dovetail with the areas of research focus, e.g., the “Bench to Bedside” lecture series, journal clubs, and “Research in Progress” meetings. We also have a unique “Road to Translational Research” mentoring team, which enables all trainees to become familiar with the process of moving forward in translational research. The grant is administered by four, highly collaborative committees. These include the Executive Committee (which oversees the training program), a prestigious Internal Advisory Committee (who work with formal evaluation programs to provide feedback to improve the program), the Career Development and Retention Committee (dedicated to mentoring trainees through the transition to junior faculty), and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (whose mission is to ensure we have a diverse and equitable applicant pool and trainee selection process). Our trainees comprise an outstanding cohort of MD, MD/PhD, and PhD scientists who are passionate about cutaneous biology. As a measure of our success, the Northwestern University Postgraduate Training Pro- gram in Cutaneous Biology (NUPTCB) has trained 13 postdoctoral fellows during the last 11 years, of whom 11 remain in academics (6 as faculty). In summary, we have the applicant pool, the leadership, advisory committees, faculty mentors, and infrastructure to train future leaders in the field of dermatology and skin biology/engineering. These factors make Northwestern University an ideal site for this Training Program in Cutaneous Biology.

项目概要西北皮肤生物学研究生培训计划（NPTCB）旨在培养积极主动的人专注于皮肤生物学学术生涯的博士后研究员。 NPTCB 提供了一个集成的课程旨在：1）教育学员批判性思维、写作/演讲技巧、同行评审专业知识过程和负责任的研究行为； 2）提供适合阶段的指导，以确保专业发展。这些目标是通过与主要导师和导师的频繁审查来实现的委员会以及参加正式的教学和研讨会。我们的主要导师来自国际由国际公认的科学家（和培训导师）组成的学科群体，专注于皮肤生物学奥吉。这些科学领袖将担任我们学员的主要导师，他们不仅有任命在皮肤科，以及大学的其他精英院系（其中包括医学、微生物学/免疫学、生物医学工程和化学）。他们的研究涵盖一个或多个本次更新申请强调了五个研究重点领域：1）生物医学工程和八月- 智力，2) 纳米技术，3) 基因组学/表观基因组学，4) 皮肤免疫学，以及 5) 细胞和去- 皮肤发育生物学。此外，我们的学员有一个指导委员会，其中包括资源教职人员（具有公认指导技能的国际公认科学家）和成员 NUPTCB 职业发展和保留委员会。 “实验室培训”将辅以正式的培训教育丰富活动计划。这包括教学课程和各种研讨会与研究重点领域相吻合，例如“从实验室到床边”讲座系列、期刊俱乐部和 “研究进展”会议。我们还拥有独特的“转化研究之路”指导团队，这使所有学员能够熟悉转化研究的前进过程。这赠款由四个高度协作的委员会管理。其中包括执行委员会（监督培训计划），一个著名的内部咨询委员会（与正式评估一起工作）计划提供反馈以改进计划），职业发展和保留委员会（致力于指导学员过渡到初级教师）以及多样性、公平性和包容性委员会（其使命是确保我们拥有多元化且公平的申请人库和实习生选择过程）。我们的学员包括一群杰出的医学博士、医学博士/博士和博士科学家，他们充满热情关于皮肤生物学。作为衡量我们成功的标准，西北大学研究生培训项目克皮肤生物学（NUPTCB）在过去11年里培养了13名博士后研究员，其中11名继续从事学术工作（6 名教师）。总而言之，我们有申请人库、领导层、咨询委员会、教师导师和基础设施，用于培训皮肤病学和皮肤生物学/工程领域的未来领导者。这些因素使西北大学成为皮肤生物学培训项目的理想场所。
