TRAINING IN LUNG SCIENCE

摘要： 好了！ 这项建议是我们的肺科学培训补助金第四次竞争续期。在.期间 在过去的18年半里，培训补助金为71名学员提供了发展的机会 具有较强的肺科学基础，包括42名医学博士、13名博士和16名博士前研究生。 在完成T32支持的12名博士前学生中，有3人在教职，1人 是疾控中心的一名工作人员，七名仍在接受培训，一名是10名行业科学家 不再受T32支持的博士后实习生，4人在教职员工职位，1人在做 拥有Fogarty奖学金的研究人员和三名学术或行业的研究科学家。十一 在18名接受支持的医学博士后实习生中，有10人进入了学院教职 继续担任教职员工。我们增加了医学博士实习生和代表性不足的学生的纳入 由这笔赠款支持的少数族裔。 我们培训计划的三个主要目标是：(1)提供3年的严谨科学 对内科科学家进行培训，使他们能够成为独立的调查人员 与人类肺部疾病有关的科学问题；(2)提供长达3年的博士后培训 博士科学家专注于肺部生物学研究，并促进该领域的长期职业生涯； 以及(3)培养MD-PhD项目和其他既定学位授予的研究生 计划-并引导他们进入肺部研究的职业生涯。我们强烈鼓励MD实习生 获得更高的学位，以优化他们成功从事调查工作的机会。 该计划涵盖的三个主要课程领域是：(1)细胞与分子 生物学；(2)系统生物学、生物工程和生物信息学；(3)临床和公共卫生 研究。该课程为博士学位提供正式培训和学位机会。 生物化学、分子生物学与生物化学、遗传学、细胞生物学与发育、微生物学、 免疫学；癌症生物学；生物工程；生物信息学；公共卫生硕士学位 或临床研究；或临床研究证书课程。培训学院抽签 来自4所学术卫生中心学院和理工学院。教师专业知识 范围广泛，包括：肺纤维化；肺损伤；肺癌；慢性阻塞性肺病； 安眠药；哮喘；囊性纤维化；以及生物伦理学。资源广泛，研究稳定 每个领域的资金都提供了一个出色的培训环境。

ABSTRACT: ! This proposal is the fourth competing renewal of our Training Grant in Lung Science. During the last 18 and a half years, the Training Grant has provided 71 trainees the opportunity to develop strong foundations in lung science, including 42 MDs, 13 PhDs and 16 Predoctoral graduate students. Of the 12 predoctoral students who completed T32 support, three are in faculty positions, one is a staff scientist at CDC, seven are still in training and one is an industry scientist Among the 10 postdoctoral PhD trainees who no longer are T32-supported, four are in faculty positions, one is doing research with a Fogarty fellowship and three are research scientists in academics or industry. Eleven of the 18 MD postdoctoral trainees who received support entered academic faculty positions and ten remain as faculty. We have increased the inclusion of MD-PhD trainees and under-represented minorities supported by this grant. The three major aims of our Training Program are to: (1) provide 3 years of rigorous scientific training for physician-scientists, enabling them to become independent investigators examining scientific questions related to human lung disease; (2) provide up to 3 years of post-doctoral training to PhD scientists focusing their studies in lung biology and promoting long term careers in this field; and (3) train graduate students from the MD-PhD program and other established degree-granting programs - and guide them into careers in lung research. MD trainees are strongly encouraged to obtain advanced degrees to optimize their opportunities for a successful investigative career. The three major curricular areas encompassed by the program are: (1) Cell & Molecular Biology; (2) Systems Biology, Bioengineering; & Bio-Informatics; and (3) Clinical & Public Health Research. The curriculum provides formal training and degree opportunities for PhD degrees in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology & Biochemistry; Genetics, Cell Biology & Development; Microbiology, Immunology; & Cancer Biology; Bioengineering; Bioinformatics; for Masters degrees in Public Health or Clinical Research; or for Certificate Program in Clinical Research. The Training Faculty is drawn from 4 Academic Health Center colleges and the College of Science & Engineering. Faculty expertise extends across a broad spectrum, including: pulmonary fibrosis; lung injury; lung cancer; COPD; sleep medicine; asthma; cystic fibrosis; and bioethics. Comprehensive resources and stable research funding in each area provide an outstanding training environment.!
