Pulmonary Genetic Medicine Training Program

我们建议在威尔康奈尔医疗中心启动肺部遗传医学培训计划 学院在纽约市，在与同事合作纪念斯隆凯特琳。的 计划将包括6名学员，每人1.5至3年。该计划利用现有的 资助多研究者合作，重点是了解肺的遗传方法 疾病在R. Crystal教授兼系主任 遗传医学，肺和重症监护医学部主任，该计划 将有23名教师。Crystal博士将由3名副主任协助， 内部执行委员会、招聘和保留委员会以及外部 咨询委员会。目标是提供MD，MD/PhD，PhD和MD/博士后培训生 多学科培训侧重于了解肺病的遗传基础。 培训包括4个方面：（1）基因组学和基因表达;（2）流行病学和 表型分析;（3）统计遗传学和生物信息学;（4）伦理学和法规事务。 培训计划通过小组会议补充了传统的指导研究项目 和个性化的指导，以及必要的和可选的教学讲座集中在每个 这些区域。此外，为了补充他们的主要导师，所有学员将有一个个人的 咨询委员会，由具有不同专业知识的高级和初级导师组成，将 每季度举行一次会议，审查培训里程碑的进展情况。培训计划还 包括每周一次的个性化医疗会议，学员在会上展示他们的工作并进行互动 与其他学员和导师。最后，制定了确保职业指导的战略 对学员和教员进行正式评估。 相关性（参见说明）： 最近的技术发展现在允许分析一个人的基因，并测量这些基因是如何影响人类的健康的。 功能为了将这些知识转化为未来肺部疾病的个性化治疗，威尔康奈尔大学 肺遗传医学培训计划将培训医生和科学家进行研究， 提供了对基因组、环境和风险之间关系的理解， 肺部疾病

We propose to initiate a Pulmonary Genetic Medicine Training Program at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, in collaboration with colleagues at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. The Program will include 6 trainees, each for 1.5 to 3 yr. The Program takes advantage of existing funded multi-investigator collaborations, focusing on genetic approaches to understanding lung disease. Under the direction of R. Crystal, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Genetic Medicine, Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, the Program will incorporate 23 faculty members. Dr. Crystal will be assisted by 3 Associate Directors, an internal Executive Committee, a Committee on Recruitment and Retention, and an External Advisory Committee. The goal is to provide MD, MD/PhD, PhD and MD/post-doctoral trainees multi-disciplinary training focused on understanding the genetic basis of pulmonary disease. The training includes 4 areas: (1) genomics and gene expression; (2) epidemiology and phenotyping; (3) statistical genetics and bioinformatics, and (4) ethics and regulatory affairs. The Training Program complements traditional mentored research projects with group meetings and individualized mentoring, as well as required and optional didactic lectures focused on each of these areas. Also, to complement their primary mentor, all trainees will have a personal advisory committee, comprised of senior and junior mentors with diverse expertise, that will meet quarterly to review progress towards training milestones. The Training Program also includes weekly Personalized Medicine meetings where trainees present their work and interact with other trainees and mentors. Finally, strategies are in place for insuring career mentoring and formal evaluation of trainees and faculty. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Recent developments in technology now permit analysis of a person's genes and measure how these genes function. To translate that knowledge into future personalized therapies for lung disease, the Weill Cornell Pulmonary Genetic Medicine Training Program will train physicians and scientists to perform research that provides an understanding of the relationship between the genome, the environment and the risk for pulmonary disease.
