Skin Diseases Research Center at the University of Wisconsin

描述(申请人提供)：威斯康星大学皮肤病研究中心(UWSDRC)从16个系、5个学院和7个中心收集了40名优秀的研究人员，他们都从事皮肤细胞死亡和分化的研究。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校以其学术环境而闻名，这有利于生物医学研究和教育的跨学科创新方法。UWSDRC的所有成员都有与皮肤生物学和广泛的皮肤病相关的积极研究计划。UWSDRC的研究人员利用每年430万美元的直接支持(NIAMS提供的150万美元)来推进皮肤细胞死亡和分化研究。UWSDRC的总部将设在皮肤科，医学与公共卫生学院在招聘拟议的UWSDRC主任Gary S.Wood和副主任Hasan Mukhtar时做出了重大承诺。皮肤病学的主要资源包括院系地位、7个终身教职教师职位、5.6万SF空间、创业和保留方案，以及专门用于支持研究的超过1000万美元的捐赠基金。皮肤科从2001年开始没有外部支持，几年来一直位居美国国立卫生研究院皮肤病研究项目前10-20名。如果UWSDRC获得资助，院长、华盛顿大学临床与翻译研究所(ICTR)和皮肤科将额外承诺1600 SF的新空间和高达220万美元的资金，以补充NIH的资金。UWSDRC将包括一个行政核心和三个服务核心(细胞培养核心(CCC)、实验皮肤病理学核心(ECPC)和进化技术核心(ETC))，以及一个丰富计划，包括试点和可行性研究、客座教授、指导和性别/少数群体意识。UWSDRC将通过与华盛顿大学麦迪逊分校现有的一系列核心设施和皮肤科项目进行协调，最大限度地提高绩效和资源。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Skin Diseases Research Center at the University of Wisconsin (UWSDRC) has collected 40 outstanding investigators from 16 Departments, 5 Schools and 7 Centers, all engaged in cutaneous cell death and differentiation research. The UW-Madison is an institution renowned for its academic environment which is conducive to innovative interdisciplinary approaches to biomedical research and education. All members of the UWSDRC have active research programs relevant to cutaneous biology and a broad range of skin diseases. UWSDRC investigators leverage $4.3M of annual direct support ($1.5M from NIAMS) to advance cutaneous cell death and differentiation research. The UWSDRC will be based in the Department of Dermatology to which the School of Medicine and Public Health made a major commitment when it recruited the proposed UWSDRC Director, Gary S. Wood, and Associate Director, Hasan Mukhtar. Major resources have been incorporated into Dermatology including departmental status, seven tenure-track faculty positions, 56,000 SF of space, start-up and retention packages, and more than $10M in endowments devoted exclusively to supporting research. Beginning with no extramural support in 2001, Dermatology has consistently ranked among the top 10-20 NIH skin disease research programs for several years. If the UWSDRC is funded, the Dean, UW Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) and Department of Dermatology will commit an additional 1,600 SF of new space and up to $2.2M to supplement the NIH funds. The UWSDRC will contain an Administrative Core and 3 service cores (Cell Culture Core (CCC), Experimental Cutaneous Pathology Core (ECPC) and Evolving Technology Core (ETC)) as well as an Enrichment Program including pilot and feasibility studies, visiting professors, mentoring and gender/minority awareness. The UWSDRC will maximize performance and resources by coordinating with a wide array of existing UW-Madison core facilities and Department of Dermatology programs.
