DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The focus of the renewal of the Training Program in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine is to provide doctoral students with advanced training in biomedical research. The didactic portion of the Program provides an integrated, innovative and rigorous educational experience that has as its goal the repair or regeneration of human tissues and organs and the preservation of the quality of human health. Resources for the program come from a core of well-funded faculty in several departments/divisions at Thomas Jefferson University including Orthopaedic Surgery, Dermatology, Medicine, Surgery, Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Stem Cell Biology, Pathology and Cell Biology and the Rothman Institute. We request support for five predoctoral students in the 01-03 year of the grant and six students in the 04-05 years. There are six program objectives: (1) to integrate contemporary advances in cell, molecular, and developmental biology towards understanding tissue function; (2) to relate fundamental advances in the life sciences to contemporary issues in tissue engineering (3) to foster practical understandings of the pathophysiology of diseases of the skeleton; (4) to develop translational research by working closely with physicians in a clinical and surgical setting; (5) to implement translational research through interactions with scientists in the biotech industry and (6) to build a pipeline of talented individuals for careers in musculoskeletal research The didactic aspects of the training program are embedded in integrating developmental, cell and molecular biology; bioinformatics and functional genomics; tissue engineering and bioimaging; and translational medicine. So as to anchor the program in human disease, clinicians lecture in each of the major courses. By interacting frequently with surgeons who treat the ravages of disease, and by direct observation and discussion with faculty in the clinic and operating room, students develop an appreciation for health problems that are amenable to treatment by tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Development of translational research is furthered by collaboration with scientists at local biotech companies and laboratories. Against this background, students develop their dissertation research which provides the foundation for their future careers as independent, innovative scientific investigators.

简介（申请人提供）：组织工程与再生医学培训项目更新的重点是为博士生提供生物医学研究方面的高级培训。该方案的教学部分提供了一个综合的，创新的和严格的教育经验，其目标是修复或再生人体组织和器官，并保持人类健康的质量。该项目的资源来自托马斯杰斐逊大学几个部门/部门的资金雄厚的核心教师，包括骨科，皮肤病学，医学，外科，解剖学和发育生物学，干细胞生物学，病理学和细胞生物学以及罗斯曼研究所。申请资助01-03年度5名博士生和04-05年度6名博士生。有六个项目目标：(1)整合当代细胞、分子和发育生物学的进展，以理解组织功能；(2)将生命科学的基本进展与组织工程的当代问题联系起来(3)促进对骨骼疾病病理生理学的实际理解；(4)与临床和外科医生密切合作，开展转化研究；(5)通过与生物技术行业的科学家进行互动，实施转化研究；(6)为肌肉骨骼研究领域的人才培养管道。培训计划的教学方面嵌入了发育生物学、细胞生物学和分子生物学的整合；生物信息学和功能基因组学；组织工程与生物成像；还有转化医学。为了将这个项目锚定在人类疾病上，临床医生讲授每一门主要课程。通过与治疗疾病的外科医生的频繁互动，以及与诊所和手术室的教师的直接观察和讨论，学生们培养了对组织工程和再生医学治疗的健康问题的欣赏。通过与当地生物技术公司和实验室的科学家合作，进一步促进了转化研究的发展。在这样的背景下，学生发展他们的论文研究，这为他们未来的职业生涯作为独立的，创新的科学研究者提供了基础。
