The Cedars-Sinai Immunobiology Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：雪松西奈医学中心（CSMC）建议建立一个新的T32研究计划，该计划将为三名博士后研究员提供为期两年的基础实验室和教学培训的资金支持。两个职位要求博士后研究人员具有博士学位。一个生物医学领域的学位，还有一个名额是专门为医学博士准备的。博士后这两类学员的基本先决条件将表现出兴趣和能力，进行相关的免疫生物学转化研究，并获得重大的校外研究资金，特别是NIH资金的潜力。我们已经召集了19名优秀的教师导师，他们将参与博士后培训生的专业和科学发展。我们的目标是培养基础和翻译免疫生物学研究人员谁拥有必要的技能，成功作为独立的学术研究人员在免疫生物学和进行转化研究。该计划得到了CSMC免疫生物学研究快速增长的实力的支持，包括NIH支持的教师导师的强大组合，并在机构层面上建立了Cedars-Sinai生物医学科学和转化医学研究生课程和Cedars-Sinai临床学者计划。这些新的计划已经成功地吸引了高度有才华的少数民族博士前学生和博士后研究学员到免疫生物学领域，这预示着CSMC免疫生物学研究的未来。我们提出的计划将为学员提供分子，细胞和基础免疫学，免疫系统是原因或促成因素的人类疾病的病理生物学，以及转化和临床免疫生物学的课程和研讨会。有一个优秀的翻译基础设施牢固建立，拟议的计划将密切结合。还将随时接触临床免疫生物学研究人员，以及所服务的患者群体的无与伦比的多样性，这在迈向个性化医疗保健方面将是非常宝贵的。我们的目标是将我们的计划融合成一个一流的机制，将培养下一代的免疫生物学研究人员 相关性：雪松西奈医学中心建议提供一个新的培训计划，在基础和翻译免疫生物学研究的博士后研究员（两个博士后博士学位。研究员和一名博士后研究员），将在一个以免疫生物学疾病临床护理而闻名的主要医学中心提供基础和转化免疫生物学的课程和实验室培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) proposes to establish a new T32 research program that will offer funding support for two years of basic laboratory and didactic training to three postdoctoral fellows. Two slots are requested for postdoctoral researchers with a Ph.D. degree in a biomedical field, and one slot is earmarked for an M.D. postdoctoral fellow. Fundamental prerequisites for both categories of trainees will be demonstrated interest and ability in conducting translational research relevant to immunobiology, and the potential for obtaining major extramural research funding, particularly NIH funding. We have assembled 19 outstanding Faculty Mentors who will participate in the professional and scientific development of the Postdoctoral Trainees. Our goal is to train basic and translational immunobiology researchers who have the necessary skills to succeed as independent academic investigators in Immunobiology and conduct translational research. This program is supported by rapidly growing strength in immunobiology research at CSMC, including a very strong portfolio of NIH-supported Faculty Mentors, and on an institutional level by the creation of the Cedars-Sinai Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences and Translational Medicine and the Cedars-Sinai Clinical Scholars program. These new Programs have already succeeded in attracting highly talented underrepresented minority predoctoral students and postdoctoral research trainees to the field of immunobiology, which bodes well for the future of immunobiology research at CSMC. The program we propose will offer trainees courses and seminars in molecular, cellular and basic immunology, the pathobiology of human diseases where the immune system is a cause or contributing factor, and translational and clinical immunobiology. There is an outstanding translational infrastructure firmly established that the proposed program will closely integrate with. There will also be ready access to clinical immunobiology investigators, and an unparalleled diversity in the patient population served that will be invaluable in the move towards personalized medical care. We aim to meld our program into a first-rate mechanism that will train the next generation of immunobiologic investigators RELEVANCE: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center proposes to offer a new training program in basic and translational immunobiology research to postdoctoral fellows (two postdoctoral Ph.D. fellows and one post-doctoral M.D. fellow) that will offer course work and laboratory training in basic and translational immunobiology at a major medical center renowned for clinical care in immunobiologic diseases.
