Ugandan Laboratory Core

主要以CFAR和CASE TBRU为代表的CWRU、乌干达政府和Makerere大学之间的长期研究关系导致在乌干达发展了广泛的研究基础设施。CWRU是美国首批从“狩猎”科学转向涉及教学、培训和就业的强有力的综合研究方法的学术机构之一。我们最近庆祝了我们与乌干达政府合作20周年 和Makerere大学。目前，有200多名乌干达科学家和医疗保健专业人员积极参与我们的合作项目。发展中世界新举措的一个主要限制是现场缺乏最先进的实验室设施。CFAR通过为乌干达的临床病毒学和分子生物学提供最先进的实验室和设施，促进了关于结核病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的开创性研究。所有研究实验室(病毒学/分子生物学、免疫学、 分枝杆菌和性病实验室)由乌干达人现场指导，他们都通过福格蒂艾滋病培训计划获得了CWRU的高级学位。为进一步促进资源共享和促进/支持新的研究举措，与艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究有关的所有实验室设施和服务均由CASE CFAR乌干达实验室核心管理，具体目标如下： ？提供全面的实验室服务，促进CFAR调查员开展与艾滋病毒/艾滋病有关的研究项目 ？与CWRU和Fogarty艾滋病培训补助金合作，提供培训乌干达科学家的机制

The longstanding research relationship between CWRU, primarily represented by the Case CFAR and the Case TBRU, the government of Uganda and Makerere University, has resulted in the development of an extensive research infrastructure in Uganda. CWRU was one of the first US academic institutions to move from "safari" science to a strong integrated research approach involving teaching, training, and employment. We recently celebrated our twenty-year collaboration with the Ugandan government and Makerere University. Currently over 200 Ugandan scientists and health care professionals are actively involved in our collaborative programs. A major limitation to new initiatives in the developing world has been the lack of state-of-the-art laboratory facilities on site. The Case CFAR has fostered seminal studies on TB and HIV/AIDS by providing a state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities for clinical virology and molecular biology in Uganda. All the research laboratories (Virology/Molecular Biology, Immunology, Mycobacterial, and STD laboratories) are directed on site by Ugandans, all of whom have received advanced degrees from CWRU through the Fogarty AIDS Training Program. To further facilitate sharing of resources and to promote/support new research initiatives, all laboratory facilities and services associated with HIV/AIDS research are being administered by the Case CFAR Uganda Laboratory Core with the following two main Specific Aims: ¿ To provide comprehensive laboratory services to facilitate HIV/AIDS-related research projects of CFAR investigators ¿ To provide a mechanism for training of Ugandan scientists in collaboration with CWRU and Fogarty AIDS Training Grant
