Training Program in Regenerative Medicine

描述(由申请者提供)：再生医学培训计划由NIDDK提供的T32培训补助金支持。这项续签提案要求4个博士后和2个博士后职位。此外，麦克奈特脑研究所的再生项目提供了额外的2个博士后奖学金，这些奖学金需要机构间的合作来进行指导。通过国内发展方案开设的干细胞生物学/再生医学课程提供具体培训。本课程由三个单元组成：1)干细胞生物学基础。2)翻译干细胞生物学。3)临床细胞治疗。此外，T32受训人员帮助组织和运行年度再生项目科学会议，邀请来自世界各地的演讲者讨论再生医学的最新进展。受训者还被要求在这个论坛上展示他们的工作。 公共卫生相关性：再生医学培训计划支持博士后和博士后研究员。这些研究员接受培训，将干细胞生物学中的基础科学发现转化为针对广泛人类疾病的新的再生疗法。这一新兴领域有可能使“个性化”医学的承诺成为现实。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Regenerative Medicine training program is supported by a T32 Training Grant from NIDDK. This renewal proposal requests 4 pre-doctoral and 2 post-doctoral positions. In addition, the Regeneration Project of the McKnight Brain Institute provides an additional 2 post-doctoral fellowships that require an inter-institutional collaboration for the mentoring. Specific training is provided by the Stem cell biology/Regenerative medicine course offered through the IDP. The course consists of three modules 1) Basic stem cell biology. 2) Translational stem cell biology. 3) Clinical cell based therapies. In addition T32 trainees help organize and run the annual Regeneration Project Scientific Meeting that brings in invited speakers from around the world to discuss recent advances in Regenerative Medicine. The trainees are also required to present their work at this forum. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Regenerative Medicine training program supports both pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellows. The fellows are trained to translate basic science findings in stem cell biology into novel regenerative therapies for a wide range of human diseases. This emerging field has the potential to make the promise of "Personalized" medicine a reality.
