INTEGRATED PHYSIOLOGY TRAINING-- MOLECULE TO ORGANISM

超出提供的空间。在过去的10到15年里，美国生理学系的培训经历了一场变革，使学生无法获得从整个动物到细胞和分子水平的研究性培训。威斯康星医学院(MCW)生理学系是一个例外，该系提供研究性培训，强调整合所有这些层面的知识，并培养对这些知识与疾病过程的关系的认识。事实上，在过去的5年里，19名学生(2名NIH实习生)在这个系获得了博士学位，现在成功地接受了额外的培训或成为了教职员工。这项拟议的计划将继续提供细胞、分子和整个动物生理学方面的培训。受训人员将在全国范围内招募，并将根据学术资历、以前的研究经验以及对研究和培训事业的承诺来选择。受训者将完成必修课和选修课，以及一个研究项目，其中包括使用分子生物学、生物化学、分离组织和整体动物研究的技术。重点是解释从亚细胞系统获得的数据与整个动物的正常和不正常生理的关系。研究将在高血压、中风和肺部疾病领域进行，并将被设计为在这些需要的领域提供训练有素的生物医学科学家，每个领域都是NIH的目标。研究性培训将在培训计划的主要教员(生理学系教员)的直接监督下进行，这些教员在培训研究生方面拥有丰富的经验，并拥有NIH资助的富有成效的研究计划。中级教师将在学位论文委员会任职，贡献他们的专业知识。所有受训人员均为麻省理工学院研究生院的全日制博士生。将定期监测受训人员在培养批判性综合思维和获得成功促进预防和控制心血管疾病和肺部疾病的持续研究所需技能方面的进展情况。表演网站========================================Section End===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. During the last ten to fifteen years, training in Physiology departments in this country has undergone a tranformation that precludes students from obtaining researchtraining that spans the discipline from the whole animal to the cellular and molecular level. An exception is the Physiology Department of the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), that offers researchtraining emphasizing integration of knowledge at all these evels as well as development of an appreciation for the relationship of this knowledge to disease processes. ndeed, in the past 5 years, 19 students (2 NIH trainees) have received their Ph.D. from this department and are now successful in additional training or as faculty members. This proposed program will continue to provide training in Cellular, Molecular, and Whole Animal Physiology. Trainees will be recruited nationally and will be selected on the basis of academic credentials, previous research experience, and commitment to a career in research and training. Trainees will complete required and elective courses and a research project that includes use of the techniques of molecular biology, biochemistry, isolated tissues, and whole animal investigation. Emphasis will be placed on interpretation of the relationship of data obtained from subcellular systems to normal and abnormal physiology of the whole animal. Research will be in the areas of hypertension, stroke, and pulmonary disease, and will be designed to provide trained biomedical scientists in those areas of need, each of which has been targeted by theNIH. Research training will be conducted under the direct supervision of the primary faculty of the training program (faculty of the Department of Physiology) who have extensive experience in training Graduate tudents and have productive NIH funded research programs. Secondary faculty will serve on dissertation committees contributing their special expertise. All trainees will be full-time Ph.D. candidates in the MCW GraduateSchool. Trainee progress in developing critical, integrative thought and in acquiring the skills required to successfully contribute to continuing studies on prevention and control of cardiovascularand pulmonary disease will be monitored at regular intervals.
