Training in Comparative Lung Biology and Medicine

描述(由申请人提供)：加州大学戴维斯分校(UCD)比较呼吸生物学和医学中心(CCRBM)寻求更新比较肺生物学和医学课程36-40年的培训。在过去的34年里，48名博士后和70名博士后学员在该项目中接受了培训。在过去的10年里，我们培养了17名博士后和24名博士后学员。所有之前的博士后实习生和85%的博士后实习生目前都在从事研究和服务(大学13后/16PRE，工业六分之一，政府三分之三)。这个连续项目旨在每年培训6名博士后和3名博士后实习生，使他们成为肺部研究的独立研究员。培训的持续时间取决于个别受训人员先前的经验和能力，以过渡到他们自己的独立学术和/或研究职业。候选人的选择将特别注重少数族裔的招聘战略。实习生 将从申请的候选人库中挑选：CCRBM和肺科课程；UCD研究生团体；或个人培训教员。考生还必须提供以前接受过研究培训的证据，以及与CCRBM研究活动和优先事项相关的承诺。重点将放在广泛的肺部研究培训活动上，重点放在肺部比较生物学和细胞/分子机制上。教员将指导五个主要领域的研究培训：1)干细胞生物学、再生医学和肺癌恶性肿瘤；2)呼吸道病理生理学；3)肺毒素药理学；4)肺部炎症和免疫；5)翻译研究。培训方案包括一个有组织的核心课程，其中包括科学伦理和论文/资助撰写策略、基础肺部病理生物学、 通过我们与加州大学戴维斯临床和翻译科学中心(CTSC)的合作，我们在蛋白质组学、基因组学和代谢组学以及临床和翻译研究方面提供了新的免疫学和新技术。研究/培训会议包括每周一次的CCRBM研讨会系列、专题研讨会系列、年度“肺日”研讨会、进行中的工作，以及评估受训人员进展的个别实验室会议。在整个培训计划中，强调指导和职业规划，因此该计划可以个性化，以最好地实现每个受训者的个人目标。该计划旨在利用加州大学戴维斯分校的现有优势，包括在医学院和兽医学院的肺部研究人员之间建立了良好的合作关系，国家灵长类动物研究中心，小鼠生物学计划，诡辩吸入设施，现代基因组中心，以及位于戴维斯校区的NIH指定的西海岸代谢组学实验室，以及一流的临床和转化科学中心(CTSC)，干细胞再生医学计划，UCDMC综合癌症中心和非常强大的肺部和重症监护医学临床计划。该计划吸引了来自4所学校/学院和17个系/科的36至40名教职员工。(摘要结束)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Davis (UCD), Center for Comparative Respiratory Biology and Medicine (CCRBM) seeks to renew the Training in Comparative Lung Biology and Medicine Program for years 36-40. Over the last 34 years, 48 post- and 70 pre-doctoral trainees have been trained in the program. In the past 10 years, we have trained 17 post- and 24 pre-doctoral trainees. All previous post-doctoral trainees and 85% of previous pre-doctoral trainees are currently engaged in research and service (13 post/16 pre in University, 1/6 in industry, 3/1 in government). The continuous program is designed to train 6 pre- and 3 post-doctoral trainees each year to become independent investigators in pulmonary research. The duration of training depends on individual trainee's prior experience and capabilities to transition to their own independent academic and/or research careers. Candidates will be selected with special efforts given to minority recruitment strategies. Trainees will be selected from the pool of candidates applying to: programs in the CCRBM and Pulmonary Division; graduate groups at UCD; or to individual training faculty member. Candidates must also provide evidence of previous research training and a commitment relevant to the CCRBM research activities and priorities. Strong emphasis will be given to broad scope lung research training activities with focuses on lung comparative biology and cellular/molecular mechanisms. Faculty preceptors will direct research training in five primary areas: 1) stem cell biology, regenerative medicine and lung cancer malignancy; 2) airway pathophysiology; 3) lung toxo-pharmacology; 4) lung inflammation and immunity; and 5) translational research. The training program includes an organized core curriculum consisting of research training in scientific ethics and paper/grant writing strategies, basic lung pathobiology, immunology and new technology in proteomics, genomics and metabolomics, and clinical and translational research through our association with the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC). Research/training conferences include weekly CCRBM seminar series, specialized seminar series, annual "Lung Day" symposium, work-in-progress, and individual lab meeting sessions to assess trainee progress. Throughout the training program, mentoring and career planning is emphasized so the Program can be individualized to best achieve each trainee's personal goals. The program is designed to take advantage of the existing strengths at UC Davis, including well established collaborations between lung researchers in the School of Medicine and the School of Veterinary Medicine, a National Primate Research Center, a mouse biology program, sophistic inhalation facility, modern Genome Center, and NIH-designated West coast Metabolomics Labs in Davis campus, and first-rate Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC), Stem cell regenerative medicine program, the comprehensive UCDMC cancer center and a very strong clinical program in pulmonary and critical care medicine. The program has drawn faculty trainers from 36 to 40 faculty members of 4 schools/college and 17 departments/divisions. (End of Abstract)
