Taining Program in Cadiovascular Biology and Medicine

超出所提供的空间。这是一个令人兴奋和充满活力的时代，分子生物学和基因组技术已经改变了心血管研究。该培训基金的主要目的是为心血管生物学和医学领域的心脏病学研究员和博士科学家提供严格的研究培训，最终目标是将受训者培养成独立的临床科学家和研究者。培训计划的具体原理是，最先进的心血管研究（基础，转化和患者导向）需要分子和细胞生物学的坚实基础。例如，心力衰竭遗传学和基因组学项目的学员将学习人类遗传学和生物信息学的研究生课程，然后将其应用于了解心肌病的遗传基础。Michael Parmacek博士将担任项目主任，他是前Co- pi和心血管医学部主任。生理学主席H. Lee Sweeney教授将担任合作私人顾问。培训计划的一部分。他们将共同协调一个多学科的培训教师小组，其中包括来自医学系、生理学、药理学、细胞和发育生物学、遗传学、医学和工程研究所以及临床流行病学和生物统计学中心的资金雄厚和成熟的研究人员。本项目的前期和博士后学员将从烫发心脏病学奖学金培训项目、烫发联合学位项目（MD/PhD）和生物医学研究生项目（BGS）中挑选。此外，还执行了一项吸引代表性不足的少数民族的个人的战略。受训者将有充分的机会进入新成立的宾夕法尼亚大学分子心脏病学中心和实验电生理学和介入心脏病学实验室。核心培训将是一个受到良好监督的研究指导，为期至少两年。这种培训将辅以研究生院的课程、讲座、研讨会和研究伦理行为方面的具体课程。培训计划实施了正式的指导计划，并设立了监督委员会来监督受训人员的进展。该培训计划的跨部门结构为心血管研究提供了无与伦比的培训环境。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This is an exciting and dynamic time in which molecular biology and genomic technologies have transformed cardiovascular research. The primary purpose of this training grant is to provide rigorous research training for cardiology fellows and PhD scientists in cardiovascular biology and medicine with the ultimate goal of preparing trainees as independent clinician-scientists and investigators. The specific rationale underlying the training program is that state-of-the-art cardiovascular research (basic, translational and patient-oriented) requires a strong foundation in molecular and cellular biology. For example, trainees in the Genetics and Genomics of Heart Failure Program will take graduate courses in Human Genetics and bio-informatics, which is then applied to understanding the genetic basis of cardiomyopathy. Dr. Michael Parmacek, the former Co- P.I. and Chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, will serve as the Program Director. Professor H. Lee Sweeney, Chairman of Physiology, will serve as Co-P.I. of the training program. Together, they will coordinate a multi-disciplinary group of training faculty that include well-funded and established investigators from the Departments of Medicine, Physiology, Pharmacology, Cell and Developmental Biology, Genetics, the Institute for Medicine and Engineering and the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Pre- and postdoctoral Trainees for this program will be selected from the Perm Cardiology Fellowship Training program, the Perm Combined Degree Program (MD/PhD) and the Biomedical Graduate Studies (BGS) program. In addition, a strategy to attract individuals from under-represented minorities has been implemented. Trainees will have full access to the newly established University of Pennsylvania Molecular Cardiology Center and Laboratories for Experimental Electrophysiology and Interventional Cardiology. The core training will be a well-supervised research preceptorship lasting a minimum of two years. This training will be supplemented by graduate school classes, lectures, seminars, and specific courses in the ethical conduct of research. The training program has implemented a formal mentoring program and established an Oversight Committee to monitor trainee progress. The inter-departmental structure of this training program provides potential for an unparalleled training environment in cardiovascular research.
