RHEUMATOLOGY TRAINING GRANT

描述(由申请人提供)： 阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院致力于在风湿病患者的临床护理和研究方法方面为医生和生物医学研究人员提供培训，以促进我们目前对这些疾病的病因和发病机制的了解。培训拨款的重点是B细胞在风湿病中的作用。我们建议招募临床和基础研究人员，其中许多是积极从事临床护理的风湿科医生，培训B细胞生物学和风湿性自身免疫性疾病的博士后和博士后博士后和博士后研究员。我们相信，在拟议的培训计划中整合基础和临床研究是一个重要的优势，将鼓励学员从事以疾病为导向的研究。重点是生物信息学方面的强化培训，这应该会促进翻译研究。该培训计划将在临床研究的表现和伦理方面提供坚实的基础。该机构在少数民族培训方面有着良好的记录。该机构的资源、设施的实力以及对基础研究和疾病相关研究的整合的承诺，应该会为有兴趣了解风湿性疾病患者的免疫系统及其异常功能的博士后和博士后学员提供一个出色的计划。

DESCRIPTION(Provided by Applicant): The Albert Einstein College of Medicine has a commitment to providing training to physicians and biomedical researchers in the clinical care of patients with rheumatic diseases and in the research methodologies to advance our current understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of these diseases. The training grant focuses on the role of B cells in rheumatic diseases. We propose to enlist clinical and basic researchers, many of whom are rheumatologists actively engaged in clinical care to train predoctoral PhD and MD/PhD students and postdoctoral PhD and MD fellows in B cell biology and rheumatic autoimmune diseases. We believe the integration of basic and clinical research in the proposed training program is a significant strength and will encourage trainees to pursue disease-oriented research. There is a focus on intensive training in bioinformatics, which should facilitate translational studies. The training program will provide a strong foundation in the performance and ethics of clinical studies. The institution has a strong track record in minority training. The resources of the institution, strength of the facility and commitment to an integration of basic and disease-related research should provide an outstanding program for pre- and post-doctoral trainees interested in understanding the immune system and its aberrant function in patients with rheumatic diseases.
