Training in Pharmacological Sciences

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请代表纽约大学（NYU）医学院药理科学多学科博士前培训计划的更新。该计划基础广泛，提供分子药理学，信号传导，神经系统药理学，受体蛋白质结构和环境医学/毒理学要素领域的培训。为了实现这一目标，该计划包括27名来自医学院基础科学和临床部门的优秀计划教师，他们的研究兴趣在于药理学领域。培训教师有许多重叠的研究兴趣，这确保了博士前学员是一个强大的智力环境的一部分，比单个实验室更大。该计划的教师位于药理学，生物化学，细胞生物学，环境医学/毒理学，医学，儿科，精神病学，微生物学和泌尿学系。这些实验室吸引了直接申请由纽约大学医学院Sackler研究生生物医学科学研究所运营的开放式研究生课程的学生。整个学院吸引了高素质的学生和博士后研究员。该计划的教师都属于萨克勒研究所。学员将参加一些核心和高级课程（例如药理学原理，受体分子药理学，分子药理学和药物开发），药理学前沿系列研讨会，两周一次的工作进展会议，学生向学生和教师介绍他们的研究，以及旨在确保广泛接触分子药理学和药理学科学的教程。将鼓励学员和参与教师之间的合作，从最初的实验室轮换开始，并继续由个别教师指导论文研究。该计划的目标是为博士前学生提供强大，广泛的培训，他们将发展成为能够为药理学领域及其在人类疾病中的应用做出重要贡献的富有成效，有竞争力和创造力的科学家。相关性（参见说明）：在药理学科学的培训补助金将严格训练学生成为这一领域的优秀研究人员。因此，他们将成为药理学未来的领导者，他们将在破译可能导致影响和靶向人类疾病的新型药物设计的途径方面发挥重要作用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application represents a renewal for multi-disciplinary predoctoral training program in the Pharmacological Sciences at the New York University (NYU) School of Medicine. The Program is broad based and provides training in the area of molecular pharmacology, signaling, pharmacology of the nervous system, protein structure of receptors, and elements of environmental medicine/toxicology. To achieve this aim, the Program has included 27 outstanding Program faculty from both basic science and clinical departments at the medical school, whose research interests lie in the field of Pharmacology. The training faculty have many overlapping research interests, which ensures that predoctoral trainees are part of a strong intellectual environment larger that the individual laboratories. The Program faculty are located in the Departments of Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Environmental Medicine/Toxicology, Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Microbiology and Urology. The laboratories draw students who directly apply an open graduate program operated by the Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at the NYU School of Medicine. The entire faculty has attracted highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows. The Program faculty members all belong to the Sackler Institute. Trainees will participate in a number of core and advanced courses (e.g. Principles of Pharmacology, Molecular Pharmacology of Receptors, Molecular Pharmacology and Drug Development), a Frontiers in Pharmacology seminar series, a bi-weekly work-in- progress sessions where students present their research to students and faculty, and tutorials intended to ensure broad exposure to molecular pharmacology and the pharmacological sciences. Collaborations between trainees and participating faculty will be encouraged starting with initial laboratory rotations and continuing with mentoring of dissertation studies by individual faculty members. The goal of the program is to provide a strong, broad based training of predoctoral students who will develop into productive, competitive and creative scientists capable of making important contributions to the field of Pharmacology and its application to human disease. RELEVANCE (See instructions): This Training Grant in the Pharmacological Sciences will rigorously train students to become outstanding investigators in this area. As such they will be among the future leaders in Pharmacology who will play an important role in deciphering pathways which could lead to novel drug design which will impact and target human diseases.
