Research Training in Blood Diseases and Resources

描述(由申请者提供)：波士顿大学-波士顿医学中心血液疾病与资源培训计划“(HTP)是一项血液学研究培训计划，自1980年以来一直活跃在波士顿大学医学中心，目前每年支持4名博士后和4名博士后实习生。该培训计划的目标是为21名HTP教员中的任何一名工作的研究生和博士、医学博士或博士后实习生提供血液学研究方面的培训。我们的项目教员在四个领域开展与血液学相关的研究：血红蛋白病、血小板和血栓生物学、造血学、淋巴细胞信号和免疫病理学。BU和BUSM为对血液学相关基础科学、翻译或临床研究项目感兴趣的学员提供了丰富的研究环境。HTP学员可使用的研究资源包括波士顿大学镰刀细胞疾病卓越中心、北欧大学再生医学中心和北欧大学淀粉样变性中心。该计划的优势之一是在每周期刊俱乐部和HTP资助的博士生、博士后研究员和开展血液学研究的医生之间的工作研讨会上定期互动。在每周一次的血液学大轮会议上，由外部血液学研究人员进行演讲，这些专家可以与HTP学员会面。博士生在进入BU或BUSM的各种博士课程后进入HTP，这些博士生包括生物化学、生物学、生物统计学、微生物学、分子医学、病理学和药理学。现在为希望接受血液学相关临床研究培训的医生提供了一条新的临床研究轨道。

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.
