项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We request funds through the P30 grant mechanism (RFA-OD-09-005) to recruit Viviana Ferreira, Ph.D., to the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Toledo College of Medicine as a tenure-track Assistant Professor. Dr. Ferreira's recruitment has already been approved by the University Board of Trustees and she Is scheduled to join our department In July, 2009. Dr. Ferreira Is a promising junior investigator with special expertise in complement regulatory proteins which play pathogenic roles In a number of inherited and acquired blood diseases. Her research program has been always directed toward improvement of human health - In fact, her recent work has unveiled novel pathogenic mechanisms of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Thus, her research area is directly relevant to the scope and mission of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Dr. Ferreira is a Hispanic woman with advanced education and training and an outstanding publication record. Thus, her recruitment broadens the diversity of the faculty body in our institution. Finally, Dr. Ferreira's expertise In the complement system fits perfectly with ongoing research projects in our department focused on Innate and adaptive Immunity, leading to strategic and synergistic growth of our overall multi-disciplinary translational research program. The requested funds will be used not only to hire Dr. Ferreira, but also to create four additional positions for highly educated Individuals and to equip her laboratory with Instruments and reagents manufactured by domestic companies. In summary, we believe that the proposed hiring of Dr. Viviana Ferreira will boost local and national economic growth, establish the scientific/technological advantage of the United States in an Important clinical/scientific field, and broaden the diversity of our biomedical research community. We are recruiting Viviana Ferreira, Ph.D., to the Dept. of Medical Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Toledo as a tenure-track Assistant Professor. Dr. Ferreira studies special proteins in the blood known as "complement regulatory proteins," which play pathogenic roles in a number of Inherited and acquired blood diseases. Her expertise in the complement system fits perfectly with ongoing research projects in our department, thus, leading to synergistic expansion of our multi-disciplinary translational research program

描述（由申请人提供）：我们通过P30资助机制（RFA-OD-09-005）申请资金，为托莱多大学医学院医学微生物学与免疫学学系招收Viviana Ferreira博士，为终身助理教授。Ferreira博士的招聘已经得到了大学董事会的批准，她将于2009年7月加入我们的部门。费雷拉博士是一名有前途的初级研究者，在补体调节蛋白方面有特殊的专长，补体调节蛋白在许多遗传性和获得性血液疾病中起致病作用。她的研究项目一直致力于改善人类健康——事实上，她最近的工作揭示了非典型溶血性尿毒症综合征和阵发性夜间血红蛋白尿的新致病机制。因此，她的研究领域与国家心肺血液研究所（NHLBI）的范围和使命直接相关。费雷拉博士是一位西班牙裔女性，受过高等教育和培训，并有杰出的出版记录。因此，她的加入扩大了我们学院教师群体的多样性。最后，Ferreira博士在补体系统方面的专业知识与我们部门正在进行的专注于先天免疫和适应性免疫的研究项目完美契合，从而促进了我们整体多学科转化研究项目的战略和协同增长。所要求的资金不仅将用于雇用费雷拉博士，而且还将为受过高等教育的个人增设四个职位，并为她的实验室配备国内公司生产的仪器和试剂。总之，我们相信，Viviana Ferreira博士的提议将促进当地和国家的经济增长，建立美国在重要临床/科学领域的科学/技术优势，并扩大我们生物医学研究界的多样性。
