WISCONSIN ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH TRAINING PROG

描述(改编自申请)：建议的过敏/免疫学 培训(威斯康星州过敏研究培训)(WISCART)计划将提供 对拥有医学博士学位或医学博士学位的研究人员进行有组织的交互式研究培训。 或博士学位，这样做将使受训者为职业生涯做好准备 学术医学。除了博士后培训外，WISCART项目 将为博士后实习生提供深入的暑期研究计划 以培养对过敏/免疫学研究的兴趣和经验。 WISCART项目旨在提供4-5年的研究培训 很大程度上是通过有指导的研究。该项目的教职员工有 成熟的和联邦政府资助的跨学科研究项目 强调应用基本概念的研究活动 免疫学、病毒学、分子生物学和细胞生物学 关于过敏和免疫学的相关问题。可用的项目 学员参加的课程包括：1)炎症细胞生物学： 嗜酸性粒细胞、肥大细胞、T细胞和中性粒细胞；2)细胞因子/炎症 介质；3)细胞黏附；4)变应原分子生物学；5)病毒 免疫学；6)肺生理学/药理学；7)信号转导；以及 8)哮喘临床研究。实验室培训将得到补充 通过与医德有关的额外课程和研讨会， 生物统计学、科学写作和演示文稿以及赠款的准备 申请校外资金。这些活动和受训人员评估将是 与已建立的临床研究人员准备计划协调 (CIPP)在威斯康星大学。该计划的目标包括 开展研究项目，建立出版记录，获得 外部赠款资金，并最终使受训人员成为独立的人 过敏和免疫学领域的研究科学家。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from the application): The proposed allergy/immunology training (Wisconsin Allergy Research Training) (WISCART) program will provide structured and interactive research training to researchers with either M.D. or Ph.D. degrees, and in doing so, will prepare the trainees for careers in academic medicine. In addition to post-doctoral training, the WISCART program will provide predoctoral trainees with an in-depth summer research program in order to foster interest and gain experience in allergy/immunology research. The WISCART program is designed to provide 4-5 years of research training largely through mentored research. The faculty of the program has well-established and federally funded research programs with interdisciplinary research activities that emphasize the application of basic concepts of immunology, virology, molecular biology, and cell biology to clinically relevant questions pertaining to allergy and immunology. Projects available for trainee participation include: 1) biology of inflammatory cells: eosinophils, mast cells, T cells, and neutrophils; 2) cytokines/inflammatory mediators; 3) cell adhesion; 4) molecular biology of allergens; 5) viral immunology; 6) pulmonary physiology /pharmacology; 7) signal transduction; and 8) asthma clinical research. Training in the laboratory will be supplemented by additional courses and seminars pertaining to medical ethics, biostatistics, scientific writing and presentations, and preparation of grants for extramural funding. These activities and trainee evaluations will be coordinated with an established Clinical Investigator Preparatory Program (CIPP) at the University of Wisconsin. The objectives of the program include developing a research project, establishing a record of publication, obtaining extramural grant funding, and ultimately, preparing trainees to be independent research scientists in the area of allergy and immunology.
