A MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH CAREER: LAB ANIMAL SCIENCE

为了在实验室动物科学领域发展研究事业，我将接受以下培训： 几个基础科学实验室，每个实验室都有一个多学科 研究方法。 在第1-3年的SERCA计划，我将轮换 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中的免疫系统， 实验动物的条件。 我建议计划和执行具体的 在我将要参观的大多数实验室中， 在我提议长期停留的地方，我打算公布项目的结果， 有足够的科学价值。 我还打算观察各种 每个实验室的方法，以及我将 我将自己表演，这样我就能意识到几个人的广度。 学科 了解现有的方法将有助于 通过更清晰的沟通和合作开发动物模型 各种各样的调查员 经过三年的学习 具体的研究方法，主要是在免疫学，我将应用许多 这些方法的一个项目在我自己的实验室在第4年和第5年的 SERCA奖。 具体项目尚未正式确定，但将侧重于 实验动物疾病的免疫病理学， 解决人类感兴趣的生物医学研究问题的动物模型 健康 通过采用具有中心主题的多学科方法， 免疫系统的疾病和条件的实验室动物，我会 在我的职业生涯中，我有三个长期目标：1）我将有足够的 接受基本实验室方法的培训，成为独立的研究者， 实验动物科学; 2）我将有足够的接触范围， 几个学科能够与研究人员在不同的 对自己的研究有深入了解的领域; 3）结合 我在实验室动物医学，诊断服务， 比较病理学，我将接受独特的培训，以开发实验室 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.
