Research Training Program in Gastroenterology

描述(由申请人提供)： 胃肠病学研究培训计划的主要目的是为医学博士、博士、医学博士/博士、博士后研究员和博士后学生在学术胃肠病学领域作为医生/科学家和独立研究员的职业生涯做准备。有一个多方面的教员，为未来的受训人员提供选择当代方法的细胞/分子生物学，肿瘤发生，信号转导途径，病毒学，免疫学和干细胞生物学的机会。教师来自几个学科，即内科、儿科和外科系(S)，布朗大学病理生物学系，以及分子和细胞生物学(M.C.B.)程序。受训人员将从以下几个来源招募：1)在布朗大学/附属医院临床成人和儿科胃肠病研究奖学金计划中至少完成两年学习的学生，包括希望在胃肠道研究方面从事医生/科学家研究的外科临床研究员；2)最近获得病理生物学博士、病理生物学学位或M.C.B.学位的学生；3)病理生物学和M.C.B.研究生项目的博士前学生或布朗医学专业的学生；以及4)布朗大学少数民族学生，其中一些人将通过八年制的医学博士课程入学。这些学生最初被布朗大学本科课程(文理)录取，毕业后被医学博士培训计划录取。我们需要两名博士后医学博士、医学博士/博士或博士后实习生，他们将至少投入两年(最好是三年)从事基础或翻译研究。医学博士或医学博士/博士研究生的研究工作将达到90%，博士后研究员的研究工作将达到100%。有两名博士前实习生申请在布朗大学攻读医学博士、医学博士或医学博士学位。这些人将把1-3年的100%的精力投入到基础或翻译研究活动中。最后，申请两名少数民族本科生(大三和/或大四)，作为布朗大学荣誉论文计划的一部分，他们将在夏季度过几个月，并在学年期间每周最多学习20个小时。预计本科少数民族学生将在我们的研究性培训计划中花费1-2年的时间。这一布朗大学和生命周期附属医院项目旨在教育医学博士、博士科学家和博士后学生在胃肠病学领域追求学术生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major thrust of this Gastroenterology Research Training Program is to prepare the M.D., Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow, and predoctoral student for a career as a physician/scientist and independent investigator in Academic Gastroenterology. There is a multifaceted faculty to provide prospective trainees select opportunities in contemporary approaches to cellular/molecular biology, oncogenesis, signal transduction pathways, virology, immunology, and stem cell biology. Faculty have been recruited from- several disciplines i.e., the Department(s) of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Surgery and from the Brown University Pathobiology, and the Molecular and Cellular Biology (M.C.B.) Programs. Trainees will be recruited from several sources i.e.; 1) those having completed a minimum two years in the Brown University/Affiliated Hospital Clinical Adult and Pediatric Gastroenterology Fellowship Program including clinical fellows from the Department of Surgery who wish to pursue the physician/scientist track in Gastrointestinal research; 2) those with a recent Ph.D., degree in Pathobiology, or M.C.B.; 3) Predoctoral students in the Pathobiology and M.C.B. Graduate Programs or Brown Medical Students; and 4) Brown University minority students, some of whom will matriculate through the eight-year M.D. Program. These students are initially accepted into the Brown Undergraduate curriculum (Arts and Sciences) and, following graduation, are admitted into the M.D. Training Program. We request two postdoctoral M.D., M.D. / Ph.D. or Ph.D. trainees who will devote a minimum of two years (and preferably three years) to basic or translational research. The research effort will be 90% for M.D or M.D./Ph.D and 100% for Ph.D. postdoctoral Fellows. There is a request for two predoctoral trainees enrolled in the M.D., M.D./Ph.D. or M.D. programs at Brown University. These individuals will devote 1-3 years of 100% effort in basic or translational research activities. Finally, a request is made for two minority undergraduates students (juniors and/or seniors) who will spend the summer months and as much as 20 hours a week during the academic year as part of the Brown University honors thesis program. It is anticipated that the undergraduate minority students will spend 1-2 years in our research training programs. This Brown University and Lifespan Affiliated Hospital program is designed to educate M.D., and Ph.D scientists and predoctoral students to pursue an academic career in Gastroenterology.
