A MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH CAREER: LAB ANIMAL SCIENCE

为了发展实验动物科学的研究事业，我将在 几个基础科学实验室，每个实验室都有一个多学科的 研究方法。在SERCA计划的1-3年，我将轮流 通过几个实验室学习具体的实验室方法，然后 将这些方法应用于研究疾病和疾病的免疫系统 实验动物的状况。我建议规划和实施具体的 我将参观的大多数实验室的项目，以及实验室中的项目 在我提议长期逗留的地方，我打算公布项目结果。 具有足够的科学价值。我还打算观察到各种各样的 每个实验室的方法，以及具体的方法我将 表演我自己，这样我就会意识到几个 纪律。对现有方法的认识将有助于 通过更清晰的沟通和合作开发动物模型 有各种各样的调查人员。经过三年的学习 具体的研究方法，主要是在免疫学方面，我会应用很多 在第四年和第五年我自己实验室的一个项目 SERCA奖。一个具体的项目尚未正式确定，但将专注于 关于实验动物疾病的免疫病理学作为一种 解决人类感兴趣的生物医学研究问题的动物模型 健康。通过采用一个中心主题的多学科方法， 免疫系统中的疾病和实验动物的状况，我会 在我的职业生涯中推动三个长期目标：1)我将有足够的 接受基本实验室方法培训，成为一名独立的研究员 实验动物科学；2)我将有足够的接触广度 几个学科能够与不同领域的调查人员交流 对其研究有深入了解的领域；以及3)结合 我在实验动物医学、诊断服务和 比较病理学，我将接受独一无二的培训来发展实验室 人类健康相关疾病的动物模型。

To develop a research career in laboratory animal science, I will train in several basic science laboratories, each having a multidisciplinary approach to research. In years 1-3 of the SERCA program, I will rotate through several laboratories to learn specific laboratory methods, and then apply these methods toward studying the immune system in diseases and conditions of laboratory animals. I propose to plan and carry out specific projects in most of the laboratories I will visit, and in the laboratories where I propose a lengthy stay, I intend to publish the results of projects of adequate scientific merit. I also intend to observe a variety of methods in each of the laboratories, as well as specific methods I will perform myself, so that I will be aware of the breadth of several disciplines. Awareness of what methodology exists will help in the development of animal models by clearer communications and collaborations with a wide variety of investigators. After three years of learning specific research methodology, primarily in immunology, I will apply many of these methods to a project in my own laboratory in years 4 and 5 of the SERCA award. A specific project has not been formalized, but would focus on the immunopathology of a laboratory animal disease to utilize as an animal model in solving a biomedical research problem of interest to human health. By having a multidisciplinary approach with a central theme, the immune system in diseases and conditions of laboratory animals, I will promote three long-term objectives in my career: 1) I will have sufficient training in basic laboratory methods to be an independent investigator in laboratory animal science; 2) I will have sufficient breadth of exposure to several disciplines to be able to communicate with investigators in diverse areas with in-depth understanding of their research; and 3) combined with my background in laboratory animal medicine, diagnostic service, and comparative pathology, I will be uniquely trained to develop laboratory animal models for human health related diseases.
