Training in Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis

描述(由申请者提供)：本培训计划的目标是为高素质的候选人提供高质量的免疫学和分子发病学博士前和博士后培训。该计划的基本原理包括跨学科培训在为研究发病机制提供基础方面的重要性，最近埃默里大学招募了大量研究人员，导致参与计划的教职员工人数大幅增加，参与计划的教职员工以前广泛参与博士后和博士后培训，以及在jthis计划所代表的领域扩大研究机会。免疫学和分子病理学(IMP)研究生课程的教师拥有所需的专业知识，为杰出的博士前和博士后培训提供至关重要的基础。许多参与培训的教员都有广泛的培训记录，在某些情况下，他们在被埃默里大学录用之前就已经在他们以前的机构开始了培训。该计划所代表的研究领域在未来的研究和为疾病发病机制提供新的见解方面具有突出的潜力。利用免疫生物学、分子和细胞生物学、病理生物学和遗传学的多种实验方法，教员的研究项目分为四个主要培训领域：1)传染病发病机制；2)免疫系统分子遗传学；3)细胞生物学和肿瘤发生；4)免疫生物学。这些教师是医学院4个基础科学或临床系的成员。因此，这项计划将促进疾病机制研究的跨学科方法。项目教职员工的广泛互动，包括：合作研究项目、联合研究小组会议、联合每周研讨会，以及联合参与免疫学和分子病理学(IMP)研究生项目，将加强对被任命为该项目的候选人的跨学科培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this training program high quality pre- and postdoctoral training in immunology and molecular pathogenesis to highly qualified candidates. The rationale for the program includes the importance of interdisciplinary training in providing the foundation for investigating mechanisms of pathogenesis, the recent recruitment to Emory of a large number of investigators that has resulted in a major expansion in the participating faculty, the extensive previous involvement of the participating faculty in pre- and postdoctoral training and the expanding opportunities for research in the areas represented by jthis program. The faculty in the graduate Program in Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis (IMP) have the expertise required to provide the foundation that is critical for outstanding predoctoral and postdoctoral training. Many of the participating faculty have extensive training records, in some cases initiated at their former institutions prior to their recruitment to Emory. The areas of research represented by this program have outstanding potential for future investigations and for providing new insights into disease pathogenesis. Utilizing multiple experimental approaches in immunobiology, molecular and cell biology, pathobiology, and genetics, the research programs of the faculty members fall into 4 main training areas: 1) pathogenesis of infectious diseases; 2) molecular genetics of the immune system; 3) cell biology and oncogenesis; and 4) immunobiology. The faculty are members of 4 basic science or clinical departments in the School of Medicine. Therefore, the interdisciplinary approach to the investigation of disease mechanisms will be fostered by this program. Extensive interactions of the program faculty, including: collaborative research projects, joint research group meetings, joint weekly seminars, and joint participation in the Immunology and Molecular Pathogenesis (IMP) Graduate Program will enhance the interdisciplinary training of the candidates appointed to this program.
