UCSF Career Development Program in Omics of Lung Diseases

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目标是启动一批优秀的下一代科学家的职业生涯，他们配备了使用组学方法来帮助改变肺部研究和肺部医学。加州大学旧金山分校是世界领先的健康科学校园之一，该项目将建立在肺部研究、组学、教育和培训方面的现有优势之上。两位具有将基因组学和遗传学工具应用于基础、转化和临床肺部研究经验的内科科学家将指导该项目。具有跨学科合作记录的杰出导师团队将在其他关键领域带来互补的专业知识，包括蛋白质组学、微生物组学研究、代谢组学、计算生物学、生物统计学和职业发展计划管理。咨询委员会将与项目主管合作，选择K12学者，监督学者的进展，并确定改进项目的机会。学者招聘过程将受益于从加州大学旧金山分校完善的博士后培训项目中获得大量多样化的内部候选人，并为我们继续从其他优秀项目中招募最有前途的年轻教师提供额外的机会。每位学者将与职业发展委员会的导师合作，建立目标，并确定教学和实践培训经验，以实现这些目标。学者们将有机会参加由多个研究生项目和加州大学旧金山分校临床与转化科学研究所主办的课程和研讨会，以及加州大学旧金山分校大量以基因组学为导向的核心设施。K12项目活动，包括新的UCSF肺部疾病组学会议，将使K12基金直接支持的学者、其他UCSF教师、博士后学员和寻求将组学方法整合到肺部研究中的学生受益。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to launch the careers of an outstanding group of next generation scientists equipped to use omics approaches to help transform lung research and pulmonary medicine. UCSF is one of the world's leading health sciences campuses and this program will build on existing strengths in pulmonary research, omics, and education and training. Two physician-scientists with experience in applying genomics and genetics tools to basic, translational and clinical pulmonary research will direct the program. An exceptionally accomplished group of mentors with strong records of interdisciplinary collaboration will bring complementary expertise in other key areas, including proteomics, microbiome research, metabolomics, computational biology, biostatistics, and career development program management. An Advisory Committee will work with the program directors to select K12 Scholars, monitor the progress of the Scholars, and identify opportunities for improving the program. The Scholar recruitment process will benefit from access to a large and diverse pool of internal candidates from UCSF's well-established postdoctoral training programs and provide additional opportunities for us to continue to recruit the most promising young faculty from other outstanding programs. Each Scholar will work with mentors on their career development committee to establish goals and identify didactic and hands-on training experiences to meet these goals. Scholars will have access to classes and seminars sponsored by multiple graduate programs and the UCSF Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, and to a large assortment of omics-oriented core facilities at UCSF. K12 program activities, including a new UCSF Omics of Lung Diseases conference, will benefit Scholars who are directly support by K12 funding as well as other UCSF faculty, postdoctoral trainees, and students seeking to integrate omics approaches into pulmonary research.
