MOLECULAR APPROACHES TO PEDIATRIC SCIENCE - CHRC

认识到需要儿科医生科学家谁可以帮助 在实验室和床边之间架起一座桥梁， 费城医院（CHOP）正在成为一个主要的机构 承诺增加其大量的研究机会， 儿科医生。 CHOP建议扩大其坚定的承诺， 儿科研究培训，通过建立分子方法， 儿科科学儿童健康研究中心（MAPS/CHRC），有四个 目标：（1）识别和招募优秀的年轻儿科医生， 特别是少数民族和妇女，她们在以下领域表现出潜力： （2）通过使用分子遗传学， 来自宾夕法尼亚大学医学部几个部门的导师 中心与强大的和资金充足的背景，在这个中心主题， 当代儿科研究;（3）保证他们获得， 核心实验室设施的培训将增强他们的能力 进行现代分子遗传学研究的能力;（4）提供 他们中的许多人的职位，以建立富有成效的教师职业生涯在 快点 被选入该计划的个人将是众所周知的， 在整个机构中被公认为“MAPS学者”。 校长 研究员，Elias Schwartz博士，主任医师兼 儿科，项目主任，罗伯特·努斯鲍姆博士，助理 宾夕法尼亚大学人类遗传学教授， 一个由18名资深研究人员组成的小组， 研究计划和培训记录。 许多导师 将积极参与新授予的人类基因组中心赠款， 医院和大学的科学家们将创造一个 人类22号染色体 为MAPS计划招募学者 将由该中心主任Kwaku Ohene-Frempong博士负责。 国立卫生研究院综合镰状细胞中心在CHOP。 奥赫内-弗雷姆蓬博士， 作为少数民族医疗事务的国家领导人，他将利用他的广泛 联系人，以吸引少数民族参与MAPS/CHRC方案， 快点 总体上讲，科学性强，训练扎实 机会，以及一个非常大的 机构的承诺，应该提供一个非常有价值的计划在CHOP。

Recognizing the need for physician-scientists in Pediatrics who can help bridge the line between the laboratory and the bedside, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is making a major institutional commitment to increase its substantial research opportunities for Pediatricians. CHOP proposes to expand its strong commitment to pediatric research training by establishing the Molecular Approaches to Pediatric Science Child Health Research Center (MAPS/CHRC), with four goals in mind: (1) Identify and recruit outstanding young pediatricians, especially minorities and women, who show potential for careers in research ; (2) Give them skills in molecular genetics through the use of mentors from several parts of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center with strong and well-funded backgrounds in this central theme of contemporary pediatric research; (3) Underwrite their access to, and training in, the core laboratory facilities that will enhance their ability to carry out modern molecular genetic research; and (4) Provide positions for many of them to establish productive faculty careers at CHOP. The individuals selected for the program will be known and recognized throughout the institution as "MAPS Scholars". The Principal Investigator, Dr. Elias Schwartz, Physician-in-Chief and Chairman of Pediatrics, and the Program Director, Dr. Robert Nussbaum, Associate Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania, will lead a group of 18 Established Investigators chosen for their well-funded research programs and track records in training. Many of the mentors will be actively involved in the newly-awarded Human Genome Center Grant, in which scientists from the Hospital and the University will create a map of human Chromosome 22. Recruiting Scholars for the MAPS program will be the responsibility of Dr. Kwaku Ohene-Frempong, Director of the NIH Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center at CHOP. Dr.Ohene-Frempong, who has been a national leader in minority medical affairs, will use his broad contacts to attract minority participants to the MAPS/CHRC program at CHOP. Overall, the combination of strong science, solid training opportunities, and the multiplier effect of an extraordinarily large institutional commitment, should provide a very valuable program at CHOP.
