MOLECULAR CELL BIOLOGY IN PEDIATRIC RESEARCH

我们建议维持一个儿童健康研究中心， 儿科基础科学研究技能发展系 它可以应用于研究重要的健康问题， 孩子该中心的中心主题将是应用 分子细胞生物学的原理和技术 一系列临床儿科问题。该中心将 由25名培训教师组成，他们都是资金充足的 investigators.教师来自儿科（12），医学（3）， 麻醉学（2），微生物学（3），细胞生物学（2），生物化学（2）， 营养科学（1）在培训教师中有13名医学博士， 1名MD-博士，11名博士，22名教授和3名副教授。这些 教师们在过去通过研究进行了广泛的互动 合作，教学，并作为各中心的共同成员 活动我们计划继续培训教师进行研究， 使用分子细胞生物学作为 他们的研究重点。有一批年轻的助理教授， 来自不同专业的博士后研究员， 受益于CHRC的支持。已经有17名教师或研究员 与导师一起参与研究;他们的研究福尔斯在主题范围内 我们提议的CHRC。为了尽量减少总成本和节省资金， 年轻教师的研究项目，我们计划使用共享儿科 实验室和7个多学科中心核心实验室。一 儿科系的实验室协调员已经 谁将帮助访问各种核心实验室，并评估 以及提供培训和技术援助 给CHRC的接受者。他长期与首席研究员，计划 主任和一个咨询委员会将监督挑选 研究支持的候选人和CHRC的职能。少数 招聘人员将被添加到行政人员。

We propose to maintain a Child Health Research Center to train young pediatric faculty for the development of basic science research skills which can be applied to the study of important health problems in children. The central theme of the Center will be application of the principles and techniques of molecular cell biology to the investigation of a broad range of clinical pediatric problems. The Center will be composed of 25 training faculty, all of whom are well funded established investigators. The faculty are drawn from Pediatrics (12), Medicine (3), Anesthesiology (2), Microbiology (3), Cell Biology (2), Biochemistry (2), and Nutritional Science (1). Among the training faculty there are 13 MDs, one MD-PhD, and 11 PhDs, 22 Professors and 3 Associate Professors. These faculty have had extensive interaction in the past through research collaboration, teaching and as mutual members in various Center activities. We plan to continue to train faculty for research in a number of different pediatric subspecialities using molecular cell biology as the focus of their research. There is a pool of young assistant professors and postdoctoral fellows from different subspecialities who could conceivably benefit from CHRC support. Already 17 of these faculty or fellows are involved in research with mentors; their research falls within the theme of our proposed CHRC. To minimize overall costs and conserve funds for young faculty's research projects we plan to use shared pediatric laboratories and 7 multi-disciplinary Center Core laboratories. A Laboratory Coordinator from the pediatric faculty has already been appointed who will help access the various Core Laboratories and assess their use and value as well as providing training and technical assistance to CHRC recipients. he long with the Principal Investigator, Program Director and an Advisory Committee will oversee the selection of candidates for research support and the function of the CHRC. A minority recruiter will be added to the Administrative Staff.
