Yale Cardiovascular Center faculty recruitment

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是为心血管医学部门和耶鲁心血管研究中心的教职人员提供支持，这些教职人员来自经认证的心脏病学奖学金项目和/或博士项目的毕业生。因此，该应用程序的具体目的是：1。通过为有前途的研究人员及其研究领域获得科学和项目支持，加强YCVRC的创新项目。2. 招募一名有前途的年轻教师，并将他/她纳入YCVRC项目，以扩大和扩大YCVRC心血管生物学多学科研究人员的社区。耶鲁大学心血管研究中心（YCVRC）成立于2008年，汇集了心血管医学和生物学领域的研究人员。与血管生物学和治疗学项目一起，YCVRC创造了一个独特的研究、临床和智力环境，专注于单一领域。现有教师11人，其中教授3人，副教授4人，助理教授1人，讲师3人。YCVRC的研究主要集中在三个领域：1)血管生成和血管发育；2)心肌细胞生物学，重点研究心肌细胞与内皮细胞的相互作用；3)血管免疫学，重点研究白细胞与内皮细胞的相互作用。心血管遗传学目前正在作为第四个领域发展。在这些主题中，研究人员采用了广泛的研究工具，包括细胞和分子生物学方法，体外和体内信号研究，以及小鼠和大型动物的CV生理学和成像研究。现有的专业领域包括生长因子信号，内吞作用和血管发育。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this application is to provide for support for recruitment of new tenure-track in the Section of Cardiovascular Medicine and Yale Cardiovascular research Center faculty from among the graduating fellows from accredited cardiology fellowship programs and/or PhD programs. Thus specific Aims of the application are: 1. Enhance innovative programs of excellence in YCVRC by obtaining scientific and programmatic support for promising research faculty and their areas of research. 2. Recruit a promising young faculty member and integrate him/her into the YCVRC programs with the goal of augmenting and expanding YCVRC's community of multidisciplinary researchers in cardiovascular biology. The Yale Cardiovascular Research Center (YCVRC) was established in 2008 to bring together investigators working in the field of cardiovascular medicine and biology. Together with the Vascular Biology and Therapeutics program, YCVRC creates a unique research, clinical, and intellectual environment focused on a single field. The YCVRC faculty is currently comprised of 11 faculty members (3 Professors, 4 Associate Professors, 1 Assistant Professor and 3 Instructors). Research at YCVRC is broadly focused in three areas 1) angiogenesis and vascular development, 2) cardiomyocyte biology with emphasis on myocyte-endothelial interactions and 3) vascular immunology with a focus on leukocyte-endothelial interactions. Cardiovascular genetics is currently being developed as a fourth area. Within these themes, Center investigators employ a wide spectrum of research tools including cell and molecular biology approaches, in vitro and in vivo signaling studies, and CV physiology and imaging studies in mice and large animals. Existing areas of expertise include growth factor signaling, endocytosis and vascular development. Fundamental understanding of cardiovascular biology is critical to the design of new therapeutic strategies and other treatment advances for cardiovascular illnesses. This proposal seeks to build a foundation for expanding studies in the area of atherosclerosis and pulmonary hypertension, two highly important cardiovascular conditions
