Research Training in Blood Diseases and Resources

描述（由申请人提供）：波士顿大学-波士顿医学中心血液病与资源培训项目（HTP）是一个血液学研究培训项目，自1980年以来一直活跃在波士顿大学医学中心，目前每年资助4名博士预科生和4名博士后。该培训计划的目标是为研究生和博士、医学博士或医学博士博士后培训生提供血液学研究方面的培训，这些培训生与21位HTP教师中的任何一位一起工作。我们的项目教师在四个领域开展血液学相关研究：血红蛋白病，血小板和血栓生物学，造血，淋巴细胞信号传导和免疫病理学。波士顿大学和波士顿大学为对血液学相关的基础科学、转化或临床研究项目感兴趣的学员提供了丰富的研究环境。HTP学员可获得的研究资源包括波士顿大学镰状细胞病卓越中心、BUSM再生医学中心和BUSM淀粉样变中心。该项目的优势之一是在每周的期刊俱乐部和工作研讨会上，htp支持的博士生、博士后（博士）研究员和开展血液学研究的医生之间进行定期互动。在每周一次的血液学研讨会上，由外部血液学研究人员进行讲座，这些专家可以与HTP学员见面。攻读生物化学、生物学、生物统计学、微生物学、分子医学、病理学和药理学等学科博士学位的学生进入HTP。一个新的临床研究轨道现在提供给希望获得血液学相关临床研究培训的医生。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Boston University-Boston Medical Center Training Program in Blood Diseases and Resources" (HTP) is a training program in hematology research that has been active at Boston University Medical Center since 1980, currently supporting four pre-doctoral and four post-doctoral trainees/year. The objective of this training program is to provide training in hematology research to graduate students and PhD, MD, or MD PhD post- doctoral trainees who work with any of 21 HTP faculty. Our program faculty carry out hematology-related research in four areas: Hemoglobinopathies, Platelet and Thrombosis Biology, Hematopoiesis, and Lymphoid Cell Signaling and Immunopathology. BU and BUSM offer a rich research environment for trainees interested in hematology-related basic science, translational or clinical research projects. Among the research resources available to HTP trainees are the Boston University Center of Excellence in Sickle Cell Disease, the BUSM Center for Regenerative Medicine and the BUSM Amyloidosis Center. One of the strengths of the program is regular interaction at weekly Journal Clubs and Work Seminars between HTP-supported doctoral students, post-doctoral (PhD) fellows and physicians carrying out their hematology fellowships. At the weekly Hematology Grand Rounds, talks are given by outside hematology researchers and such experts are made available to meet with HTP trainees. Doctoral students enter the HTP after having matriculated in variety of BU or BUSM doctoral programs, including Biochemistry, Biology, Biostatistics, Microbiology, Molecular Medicine, Pathology and Pharmacology. A new clinical research track is now offered to physicians who wish to obtain training in hematology-related clinical research.
