ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGY TRAINING GRANT

描述（改编自申请）：本申请是为了支持过敏和临床免疫学的培训计划，该计划是为耶鲁大学医学院的博士后医学和儿科实习生设计的。医学院拥有一支由临床医生和研究人员组成的双培训师资队伍，包括过敏科、临床免疫学、风湿病科、肺病科和传染病科以及儿科；第二，免疫生物学系的基础科学免疫学培训教员。教师的专业知识涵盖过敏，临床免疫学和现代免疫学的重要领域；包括：细胞、分子、生化、抗原加工/呈递和信号研究。有些教员是莱姆病方面的专家，莱姆病是在耶鲁的培训项目中发现的。培训内容包括医学和儿科过敏学、临床免疫学，以及风湿病学、皮肤病学、胃肠病学、肺科和耳鼻喉科。培训师资队伍装备齐全，主要仪器包括：4台细胞荧光仪、一台寡核苷酸合成器和多肽蛋白测序仪。这是一个小型的培训项目，每年只招收一名新研究员，而大量的教师强调至少需要3-5年的研究实验室培训，以使受训者为研究医学的职位做好准备。教师有很强的培训记录和合作研究互动；特别是在过敏和临床免疫学培训基金的资助下。研究员第一年的大部分时间都花在临床活动上。第二和第三年几乎全部花在实验室制定研究计划，在教师导师的指导下，参加各种免疫生物学课程，参加每周的研讨会和期刊俱乐部，并定期就他们的研究和共同感兴趣的主题发表演讲。该项目为学术医学和儿科的未来职位提供独特和高质量的培训，并在20多年的持续资助中取得了成功。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): This application is for support of a training program in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, that is designed for post-doctoral medical and pediatric trainees at Yale University School of Medicine. There is a double training faculty of firstly, clinician-researchers in the Department of Medicine, in the Sections of Allergy, and Clinical Immunology, Rheumatology, Pulmonary, and Infectious Diseases, and also in Pediatrics; and secondly, a basic sciences immunology training faculty in the Department of Immunobiology. The faculty's expertise spans the areas important to allergy, clinical immunology, and modern immunology; including: cellular, molecular, biochemical, antigen-processing/presenting, and signaling research. Some faculty are experts in Lyme disease, which was discovered at Yale in this training program. There is training in both medical and pediatric aspects of Allergy, and Clinical immunology, and also some training in Rheumatology, Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Pulmonary, and ENT. The training faculty is well equipped with major instruments including: 4 cytofluorographs, an oligonucleotide synthesizer, and peptide protein sequinator. This is a small training program, taking only one new fellow per year, with a large faculty emphasizing the need for at least of 3-5 years of research laboratory training to prepare trainees for positions in research medicine. The faculty have a strong training record and collaborative research interactions; especially under this Allergy and Clinical Immunology Training Grant. The fellows spend most of their first year engaged in clinical activities. The 2nd and 3rd years are spent almost entirely in the laboratory developing a research program, under the guidance of a faculty mentor, taking various immunobiology courses, participating in weekly seminars and journal clubs, and regularly giving talks on their research, and on subjects of mutual interest. The program offers unique and high quality training for future positions in academic medicine and pediatrics, and has been successful over more than 20 years of continuous funding.
