Antimicrobial Resistance and Therapeutic Discovery Training Program

项目摘要 耐药微生物的挑战要求新一代基础科学家 在抗感染研究方面接受过广泛的培训和教育，以便一支调查干部队伍 未来可用于抗击这一全球健康问题。再加上这个问题 由于新的有效抗生素的数量减少，这种需求尤其迫切。 在过去的二十年里已经进入了临床实践。因此，这一新的目标是 埃默里大学的培训助学金是为一批精选的高素质人才提供培训 激励研究生从事反艾滋病研究的独立调查人员 感染剂。该项目将每年从四个研究生项目中挑选三名博士生 在埃默里大学生物和生物医学科学研究生部 在抗菌素耐药性和治疗发现领域进行为期两年的培训。 这些研究生课程包括来自基础科学和临床科室的教职员工。 埃默里艺术与科学学院医学院和疾病中心 控制和预防(CDC)。教育培训将包括一个学习课程和 强调抗感染研究和教育的子学科的纲领性活动 耐药性和药物开发；25年提供研究培训机会 在这些研究领域拥有积极研究计划的实验室。

Project Summary The challenge of drug-resistant microbes requires that a new generation of basic scientists be broadly trained and educated in anti-infective research so that a cadre of investigators will be available in the future to combat this global health problem. Coupled with the problem of resistance, this need is especially acute given the reduced number of new, effective antibiotics that have entered clinical practice in the past two decades. Thus, the objective of this new training grant at Emory University is to provide high quality training to a select group of highly motivated graduate students for careers as independent investigators in research on anti- infectives. The program will select three PhD candidates yearly from four graduate programs within the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences of Emory University for a two year period of training in the areas of antimicrobial resistance and therapeutic discovery. These graduate programs include faculty members from basic science and clinical departments of the School of Medicine, Emory College of Arts and Sciences and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Educational training will consist of a course of study and programmatic events in sub-disciplines that emphasize research and education in anti-infective resistance and drug development; research training opportunities are provided in 25 laboratories with active research programs in these areas of research.
