HYPERTENSION

描述(由申请人提供)： 加州大学圣地亚哥分校的高血压培训计划致力于在与高血压和与这一常见医学问题相关的疾病相关的研究领域培养有才华的研究人员。这个高血压项目的目标是为研究生涯培训博士后和博士后研究人员，并以多学科和综合的方式为他们在学术研究中的职业生涯做准备。这是一个竞争性的延续申请，汇集了在基础、翻译和临床研究中利用各种学科的各种资金充足和有才华的研究人员。我们建议继续培训四名博士前和四名博士后，总共八个职位。所有受训人员在参加教学课程和系列研讨会的同时，还将获得基础研究方面的密集经验。有11个单独的调查小组在多个学科提供培训。这些小组在过去表现出了重要的合作，并得到了与高血压研究相关的计划/项目和中心拨款以及一大笔普通临床研究中心的拨款。专门提供几个学科的培训，包括细胞生物学、分子生物学、免疫学、遗传学和基因组学、生物化学和生理学。博士前学员主要来自加州大学圣迭戈分校非常成功的生物医学研究生项目、分子病理学研究生项目和医学科学家培训项目。博士后实习生是从越来越优秀的合格申请者中挑选出来的。招聘新的、有经验的和资金充足的培训计划教师加强了该计划，并增加了调查人员的互动和合作程度。课程中增加了更多的多学科互动机会和正式的指导计划。研究经费的增长和加州大学伯克利分校校区实验室研究大楼的大幅增加也提高了这种研究环境中生产率的可能性。罗兰·C·布兰茨博士将继续担任项目主任，并得到联席主任莫顿·普林茨博士的支持。(摘要结束)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Hypertension Training Program at the University of California, San Diego is dedicated to the preparation of talented investigators in research fields which are pertinent to hypertension and the diseases associated with this common medical problem. The goal of this Hypertension Program is to train predoctoral and postdoctoral investigators for a research career and prepare them in a multidisciplinary and intregated fashion for a career in academic research. This is a competitive continuation application which brings together a variety of well funded and talented investigators utilizing a variety of disciplines in basic, translational and clinical research we propose to continue with four predoctoral and four postdoctoral trainees for a total of eight positions. All trainees receive an intensive experience in basic research coupled to participation in didactic courses and seminar series. Training is offered in multiple disciplines with eleven individual investigative groups. These groups have demonstrated significant collaboration in the past and have been funded by Program/Project and center grants relevant to hypertension research and a large General Clinical Research Center grant. Training is specifically offered in several disciplines including cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, genetics and genomics, biochemistry, and physiology. Predoctoral trainees are derived primarily from the highly successful Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program, Molecular Pathology Graduate Program and Medical Scientist Training Program at UCSD. Postdoctoral trainees are selected from an increasingly excellent pool of well-qualified applicants. Recruitment of new, experienced and well funded training program faculty have strengthened the program and increased the degree of investigator interaction and collaboration. Additional opportunities for multidisciplinary interactions and formalized mentoring programs have been added to the curriculum. Growth in research funding and major increases in laboratory research buildings on the UCSD campus also improve the likelihood of productivity within this research environment. Dr. Roland C. Blantz will continue as Program Director supported by Dr. Morton Printz, Co-Director. (End of Abstract)
