Research Training Program in Gastroenterology

描述（由申请人提供）： 这个胃肠病学研究培训计划的主要目的是准备医学博士，哲学博士、医学博士/哲学博士、博士后研究员和博士前学生，作为一名医生/科学家和学术胃肠病学的独立研究者。有一个多方面的教师提供未来的学员选择在当代方法的细胞/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。从几个学科招聘了教师，医学、儿科和外科系以及布朗大学病理生物学和分子与细胞生物学（M.C.B.）程序.学员将从多个来源招募，即：1)在布朗大学/附属医院临床成人和儿科胃肠病学奖学金计划中完成至少两年的人，包括希望在胃肠研究中追求医生/科学家轨道的外科系临床研究员; 2）最近获得博士学位的人，病理学学位，或M.C.B.; 3)病理生物学和M.C.B.的博士预科生。研究生课程或布朗医学生; 4）布朗大学少数民族学生，其中一些人将通过八年制医学博士入学。程序.这些学生最初被布朗大学本科课程（艺术和科学）录取，毕业后被录取为医学博士。培训计划。我们需要两个博士后M.D. /博士或博士学员将投入至少两年（最好是三年）的基础或转化研究。研究工作将为医学博士或医学博士的90%。博士和100%的博士博士后有两名博士预科生申请入读医学博士，医学博士/博士或者医学博士布朗大学的课程。这些人将在基础或转化研究活动中投入1-3年的100%努力。最后，要求两名少数民族本科生（大三和/或大四）谁将花费夏季几个月，在学年期间每周多达20小时作为布朗大学荣誉论文计划的一部分。预计本科少数民族学生将在我们的研究培训计划中度过1-2年。这个布朗大学和Lifespan附属医院计划旨在教育医学博士，和博士科学家和博士前学生追求在胃肠病学的学术生涯。

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.
