Molecular Basis of Immunity

摘要 未来的免疫学家必须欣赏基础和临床免疫学，以有效地利用现代 研究工具，以追求有关免疫介导和传染病及其 本发明的目的是提供一种新的疫苗和治疗方法，用于预防和治疗免疫介导的疾病。 在免疫学及其与传染病的关系方面培训科学家和医生-科学家， 以及其他相关学科，如病理学、生物化学、细胞生物学和生物技术， 对免疫科学的未来至关重要。为了促进知识的传播， 免疫学，免疫学培训计划的目标是提供基础和研究培训， 4名博士前研究员和1名博士后研究员，免疫学系有25名导师，包括7名新教师。 教师。该计划是独一无二的，因为它包括来自俄克拉荷马州卫生大学的教师 科学中心（OUHSC）和俄克拉荷马州医学研究基金会（OMRF）以及其强大的 专注于微生物和宿主免疫学。参训师资力量特别雄厚 在免疫学培训计划中强调的4个学科中，包括1）应对 病原体，2）淋巴细胞发育和信号传导，3）炎症和4）自身免疫。学院 导师们在OUHSC校园互动多年，形成了一个特别适合 在分子免疫学方面培养一批有凝聚力的博士前和博士后研究员。该计划招募 来自国家和国际的学生和研究员，拥有强大的NIH资助的研究项目， 有新的教师和设施，所有这些都促进了卓越的培训氛围。博士预科 学生在完成实验室轮换和资格考试后有资格参加培训计划。 免疫学培训计划将提供深入的丰富，在4个子学科，以预科和 博士后研究生。强烈鼓励博士后研究员参加课程和指导 博士前学生以增强他们的免疫学经验。免疫学培训计划咨询 选拔委员会负责选拔博士前和博士后研究生，并担任顾问。以来 2001年9月1日，计划开始，计划的目标正在实现， 卓越的研究，免疫学课程的工作，以及务虚会和免疫学杂志俱乐部 这门课对于向学员和教师教授最新的免疫学非常重要。 每年的务虚会和期刊俱乐部课程有效地吸引了博士前和博士后研究员 与免疫学培训教师在一个环境，培养卓越。我们的计划 过去和将来都是重要的，以准备学员未来的职业生涯在免疫学。

Abstract The immunologist of tomorrow must appreciate both basic and clinical immunology to effectively utilize modern tools of research in the pursuit of new knowledge about immune mediated and infectious diseases and their pathogenesis as well as for development of new vaccines and therapies against immune-mediated diseases. Training the scientist and the physician-scientist in immunology and its relationship to infectious diseases as well as to other related disciplines such as pathology, biochemistry, cell biology, and biotechnology will be crucial for the future of immunological sciences. To facilitate the distribution of knowledge in the field of immunology, the Immunology Training Program goals are to provide fundamental and research training to 4 predoctoral and 1 postdoctoral fellows with an immunology faculty of 25 preceptors including 7 new faculty. The program is unique in that it encompasses faculty from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) as well as its strong focus on microbial as well as host immunology. The participating training faculty are particularly strong in the 4 disciplines emphasized in the Immunology Training Program, which include 1) Responses to Pathogens, 2) Lymphocyte Development and Signaling, 3) Inflammation and 4) Autoimmunity. The faculty preceptors have interacted on the OUHSC campus for years, forming a network that is particularly suited to train a cohesive group of pre and postdoctoral fellows in molecular immunology. The program recruits students and fellows from national and international sources, has strong NIH funded research programs, and has new faculty and facilities all of which foster an atmosphere of excellence in training. The predoctoral students are eligible for the training program after completion of their lab rotations and qualifying exam. The Immunology Training Program will provide in-depth enrichment in the 4 sub-disciplines to the pre and postdoctoral trainees. Postdoctoral fellows are strongly encouraged to take coursework and to mentor predoctoral students to enhance their immunology experience. The Immunology Training Program advisory and selection committee selects the pre and postdoctoral trainees and act in an advisory capacity. Since the beginning of the program, September 1, 2001, the objectives of the program are being met to provide excellence in research, and immunology course work as well as retreats and the Immunology Journal Club class which has been important for teaching current state of the art immunology to the trainees and faculty. Yearly retreats and the journal club class have been effective in bringing pre and postdoctoral fellows together with the immunology training faculty in an environment that fosters excellence. Our program has been and will continue to be important to prepare trainees for future careers in immunology.
