Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program

跨学科生物医学成像培训计划 摘要 跨学科生物医学成像培训计划将培养博士前学员成为领导者 在生物体层面，生物医学成像技术及应用研究。多学科的工程团队- NEER、物理学家、生物学家和临床医生被要求推进生物医学成像，特别是通过广告- 活体细胞和分子成像的研究进展。我们将创造下一代跨学科的生物医学 将为这些团队做出贡献并领导这些团队的成像科学家和工程师。我们的培训计划将建立 在继续对教师和成像进行重大的机构、州、联邦和商业投资后- 结构。培训助学金将把学生直接放在正在进行的跨学科的中心- 无一项/多学科研究计划。学员将使用案例中心的成像设备 包括最先进的临床和临床前成像系统的研究，以及指导实验室 教职员工。博士前实习生将来自高度评价的生物医学工程和物理系， 这两家公司在生物医学成像方面都有很长的培训历史。学员将进行研究项目 将使能成像技术与生物医学研究相结合。每名实习生将有两名或更多的男性- 代表成像技术和成像的生物/临床应用的TORS。我们的教育专家- GRAM包括一系列成像课程，包括侧重于成像物理、图像分析和 重建，以及纳米医学。我们将在设计期间促进跨学科研究的文化- Nate Image Hour。我们的T32使我们能够增加招聘女性和代表不足的米诺里- 领带。总的来说，与博士后相比，它帮助研究生提高了成本效益，并确保了 在这个急需的领域对国内博士进行培训。在不到九年的时间里，我们的T32计划已经 成功培训了几名毕业生，他们都有良好的培训记录，并有成功的发展轨迹。 塞斯。其他受训人员正在完成该项目，专注于令人兴奋的跨学科成像研究 并拥有出色的研究生产力。

Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program Abstract The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program will prepare predoctoral trainees to become leaders in organism-level, biomedical imaging technology and application research. Multi-disciplinary teams of engi- neers, physicists, biologists, and clinicians are required to advance biomedical imaging, especially with the ad- vent of in vivo cellular and molecular imaging. We will create the next generation of interdisciplinary biomedical imaging scientists and engineers who will contribute to and lead such teams. Our training program will build upon continuing, significant institutional, state, federal, and commercial investment in faculty and imaging infra- structure. A training grant award will place students squarely in the center of on-going interdiscipli- nary/multidisciplinary research programs. Trainees will use imaging facilities in the Case Center for Imaging Research which includes state-of-the-art clinical and preclinical imaging systems, along with labs of mentoring faculty. Predoctoral trainees will be from the highly-rated departments of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, both of which have a long history of training in biomedical imaging. Trainees will conduct research projects combining enabling technologies in imaging with biomedical research. Each trainee will have two or more men- tors representing both imaging technology and biological/clinical applications of imaging. Our educational pro- gram includes a portfolio of imaging courses, including ones focusing on imaging physics, image analysis, and reconstruction, as well as nanomedicine. We will promote a culture of interdisciplinary research during a desig- nated Imaging Hour. Our T32 has enabled us to increase recruitment of women and under-represented minori- ties. In general, it has helped make graduate students cost effective as compared to post docs and ensured training of domestic PhD’s in this area of critical need. In less than nine years, our T32 program has already successfully trained several graduates, all with exemplary training records and with a trajectory towards suc- cess. Other trainees are moving through the program focusing on exciting interdisciplinary imaging research and with excellent research productivity.
