总体描述(改编自应用程序) 此应用程序用于消化系统疾病的竞争性更新 芝加哥大学研究中心(DDRCC)。这个中锋？S专业 主题是研究猪上皮细胞的生物学和病理生物学。 胃肠道。DDRCC将继续是一个多学科和 涉及70名调查人员的合作努力(31名正式成员和39名 准会员)的临床和基础科学系 芝加哥大学生物科学系。这样做的目的是 DDRCC没有改变，并且是：1)促进与消化相关的疾病 支持性、综合性、协作性和多学科研究 2)增强已建立的消化科学的基础研究能力 疾病调查人员；3)鼓励不参与消化的调查人员 与疾病相关的研究变得有兴趣追求与 这一重要的调查领域；4)制定和实施以下计划 培养和建立消化系统疾病相关的青年研究人员 研究；5)促进将新的研究成果转移到 临床领域；以及6)告知专业和非专业环境中的其他人 消化系统疾病相关研究的成就、机遇和进展 研究。芝加哥大学的DDRCC有三个核心实验室 (细胞生物学、分子医学和生物化学与生物物理学) 消化系统疾病相关研究、试点和可行性研究及新进展 促进年轻和成熟人士参与的调查员奖励计划 消化系统疾病相关研究中的调查人员和管理人员 中心的核心监督中心的整体运作。这些加在一起， 目标和组成部分定义了芝加哥大学的DDRCC。

OVERALL DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the application) This application is for the competitive renewal of the Digestive Disease Research Core Center (DDRCC) at the University of Chicago. This Center?s major theme is the study of the biology and pathobiology of epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract. This DDRCC will continue to be a multidisciplinary and cooperative endeavor involving 70 investigators (31 full members and 39 associate members) in the clinical and basic science departments of the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of Chicago. The aims of this DDRCC have not changed and are: 1) to foster digestive diseases-related research in a supportive, integrative, collaborative and multidisciplinary manner; 2) to enhance the basic research capabilities of established digestive diseases investigators; 3) to encourage investigators not involved in digestive diseases-related research to become interested in pursuing problems related to this important area of investigation; 4) to develop and implement programs for training and establishment of young investigators in digestive diseases-related research; 5) to facilitate the transfer of new research findings to the clinical area; and 6) to inform others in both professional and lay settings of the accomplishments, opportunities and advances in digestive disease-related research. The DDRCC at the University of Chicago has three core laboratories (Cell Biology, Molecular Medicine, and Biochemistry & Biophysics) to foster digestive diseases-related research, Pilot and Feasibility Studies and New Investigator Award programs to foster participation of younger and established investigators in research related to digestive diseases and an Administrative Core to oversee the operation of the Center as a whole. Taken together, these objectives and components define the University of Chicago's DDRCC.
