Molecular Mechanisms of Microbial Pathogenesis Training

描述(申请人提供)：本申请寻求继续支持密歇根大学微生物致病分子机制(MMMP)培训计划。要求为博士后和博士后实习生提供支持。在MMMP博士培训计划中，学生从不同部门的多名培训师中挑选论文顾问，这些培训师的研究涵盖感染和免疫的广泛方面。培训人员包括细菌学家、病毒学家、免疫学家、细胞生物学家和生物化学家，他们都使用一系列工具来研究微生物的发病机制和宿主的反应。培训计划包括跨学科课程，涵盖生物化学、遗传学和细胞生物学等基本主题，以及细菌和病毒发病机制、病理学和免疫学等更专门的主题。此外，还设计了一门研究研讨会课程和一门将发病的分子和细胞机制与传染病的病理生理学和症状学联系起来的MMMP/传染病课程，以补充培训的研究部分。 博士实习生通过生物医学科学项目(PIBS)被招募到密歇根州。PIBS在13个项目中结合了博士生的招聘和第一年的研究生学习经验。在PIBS申请过程中确定了潜在的MMM受训人员。在密歇根大学第一年结束之前，MMMP计划实习生将参加一个综合性的课程和研究计划，最终获得微生物学和免疫学博士学位。 博士后实习生是从项目导师提名的人员中挑选出来的。除了他们的研究培训和参加研讨会和MMMP/ID课程外，博士后还有机会在微生物学系的课程中帮助规划和讲课。他们还参加了全校范围内的博士后研讨会系列，该研讨会结合了科学和职业规划演示。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks continued support for a Training Program in Molecular Mechanisms of Microbial Pathogenesis (MMMP) at the University of Michigan. Support for both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees is requested. In the MMMP Ph.D. training program, students select thesis advisors from among a number of trainers in different departments whose research covers broad aspects of infection and immunity. Trainers include bacteriologists, virologists, immunologists, cell biologists and biochemists, all of whom use a range of tools to study microbial pathogenesis and the host response. The training program includes an interdisciplinary curriculum covering basic topics such as biochemistry, genetics and cell biology, and more specialized topics in bacterial and viral pathogenesis, pathology, and immunology. In addition, a research seminar course and an MMMP/Infectious Diseases course that correlates the molecular and cellular mechanisms of pathogenesis with pathophysiology and symptomology of infectious disease are designed to complement the research component of the training. Ph.D. Trainees are recruited to Michigan through the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS). PIBS combines recruiting and first year graduate school experiences for Ph.D. students in 13 programs. Potential MMMP trainees are identified during the PIBS application process. Before the end of their first year at Michigan, MMMP Program trainees will join a comprehensive program of coursework and research leading to a Ph.D. degree in Microbiology and Immunology. Post-doctoral trainees are selected from among those nominated by mentors in the Program. In addition to their research training and participation in the seminar and MMMP/ID course, post-docs have the opportunity to help plan and lecture in courses in the Department of Microbiology. They also participate in a campus-wide Post-doctoral Seminar Series that combines scientific and career planning presentations.
