BIOLOGY OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES TRAINING PROGRAM

描述(改编自应用程序)：该计划将培训医生 从事多产职业的科学家追求基础科学 传染病调查。即使在美国，传染性 疾病仍然是第三大最常见的死亡原因，尽管有广泛的 提供抗生素、疫苗和高卫生标准。世界范围内， 传染病是导致死亡的主要原因。新产品的识别 病原体，旧病原体的卷土重来，以及 抗生素耐药性反映了人类和微生物的全球化，以及 新的和旧的病原体可以迅速移动很远的距离并建立 立足于新的利基市场。控制传染病的策略将 越来越依赖于将强有力的流行病学和以人口为基础的 利用RAPID进行基础平台研究的方法 基因组学、发病机制和免疫学的研究进展。加州大学旧金山分校的培训计划 在传染病方面将提供两个方面的临床培训 调查员和基础调查员将提供结构化的 接触工具和科学创造力的环境将是 在该学科取得成功的职业生涯所必需的。这些曲目基于 在传染性疾病区域和国家会议后提出的建议 疾病科主任和项目主任。两条赛道之间的协同效应 计划是为了创造新的研究机会，有可能 极大地促进了该领域的知识和进步。培训将重点放在 医学博士和医学博士/博士申请者，但博士后实习生具有适当的 培训和兴趣将有资格申请。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): This program will train physician scientists for productive careers pursuing the fundamental scientific investigation of infectious diseases. Even in the United States, infectious diseases remain the third most common cause of death, despite the wide availability of antibiotics, vaccines and high hygienic standards. Worldwide, infectious diseases are the leading cause of death. The identification of new pathogens, the reemergence of old pathogens and the steady acquisition of antibiotic resistance reflect the globalization of humanity and microbes, and new and old pathogens can be rapidly moved great distances and establish footholds in new niches. Strategies for control of infectious diseases will rely increasingly on merging strong epidemiologic and population-based approaches with fundamental bench research that takes advantage of rapid advances in genomics, pathogenesis and immunology. The UCSF training program in infectious diseases will provide training in two tracks clinical investigator and basic investigator that will provide a structured environment for exposure to the tools and scientific creativity that will be required for a successful career in the discipline. These tracks are based on recommendations formulated after regional and national meetings of infectious diseases division chiefs and program directors. Synergy between the two tracks is planned so as to generate new research opportunities with the potential to accelerate greatly knowledge and progress in the field. Training will focus on MD and MD/PhD applicants, but postdoctoral PhD trainees with the appropriate training and interests will be eligible to apply.
