Training in Investigative and Molecular Dermatology

描述（由申请人提供）：凯斯西储大学（Case）的皮肤病学T32培训计划是基于该计划的研究和教育方面所反映的协作多学科跨部门学术互动的传统。该计划的总体目标是吸引有才华的个人，在学术调查皮肤病学和皮肤生物学研究的成功潜力。该项目独特地服务于俄亥俄州北部/中部地区庞大的人才基础，拥有四个主要的临床皮肤病学住院医师和四个面向皮肤的研究中心; P30皮肤病研究中心（SDRC），医学真菌学中心（CMM），Murdough家庭皮肤病中心（MFCP），以及牛皮癣P50研究翻译中心（CORT），以及克利夫兰快速扩张的顶级生物医学研究环境，在皮肤科部门中排名NIH资助第4位。由于皮肤生物学和皮肤病学一直是凯斯和大学医院凯斯医学中心（UHCMC）的卓越和机构投资的一贯重点，因此已经建立了一个独特的皮肤应用导向的培训计划，其科学学科包括：细胞/分子生物学，系统生物学/生物信息学，遗传学/动物模型和转化研究。由于部门的增长，增加基础教师科学家，并通过SDRC，CMM，CORT和MFCP在凯斯基础研究小组中更加突出，该部门一直吸引高素质的研究生进行培训和感兴趣的医学生进行硕士论文。因此，我们还寻求两个博士前培训职位沿着两个短期职位，以加强对感兴趣的医学生的支持，除了两个博士后培训职位。我们认为，这将使我们能够加强我们的培训医生科学家的管道，以及发展博士学位。致力于皮肤生物学的科学家们。培训的持续时间将长达两年的博士后（PGY 2）医学博士，博士或者医学博士博士研究员和博士前研究生最多三年。短期职位将在夏季提供。这款T32致力于满足医学博士的迫切需求。博士学位。的人谁是在一个道德，合作，跨学科的环境中培训，谁可以应用现代研究工具和系统的方法，皮肤疾病。具有此类培训的研究人员对于设计，执行和解释最有前途和创新的项目至关重要，这些项目涉及医学院，研究所和行业的复杂互动团队。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Dermatology T32 training program at Case Western Reserve University (Case) is based upon a tradition of collaborative multidisciplinary interdepartmental scholarly interactions reflected in both the research and educational aspects of the program. The overall goal of the program is to attract talented individuals, with the potential for success in academic investigative dermatology and cutaneous biology research. The program uniquely serves a considerable talent base which exists in the North/Central Ohio region, with four major clinical dermatology residencies, four skin-oriented research centers; P30 Skin Diseases Research Center (SDRC), Center for Medical Mycology (CMM), the Murdough Family Center for Psoriasis (MFCP), and a psoriasis P50 Center of Research Translation (CORT) together with a rapidly expanding top-tier biomedical research environment in Cleveland, ranked #4 in NIH funding among Dermatology Departments. Because cutaneous biology and dermatology have been a consistent focus of excellence and institutional investment at both Case and University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC), a unique skin application- oriented training program has been established with scientific disciplines including; Cellular/Molecular Biology, Systems Biology/Bioinformatics, Genetics/Animal Models and Translational Research. Due to Departmental growth, increased basic faculty scientists, and more prominence within the basic research groups at Case via the SDRC, CMM, CORT and MFCP, the Department has been attracting highly qualified graduate students for training and interested medical students performing masters theses. Therefore, we are also seeking two pre-doctoral training positions along with two short term positions to bolster support for interested medical students in addition to two postdoctoral training positions. We feel that this will allow us to enhance our pipeline of training physician scientists, as well as develop Ph.D. scientists with a commitment to cutaneous biology. The duration of the training will be up to two years for postdoctoral (PGY 2) M.D., Ph.D. or M.D., Ph.D. fellows and up to three years for predoctoral graduate students. Short term positions will be offered for the summer months. This T32 strives to meet the pressing need for M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s who are trained in an ethical, collaborative, trans-disciplinary environment and who can apply modern research tools and systems approaches to cutaneous diseases. Researchers with such training are essential for the design, execution, and interpretation of the most promising and innovative projects, which involve complex interactive teams in Medical Schools, Institutes and Industry.
