Enhancing Advanced Biomedical Training in Mozambique

摘要 在这个新的申请福格蒂研究所，我们正在寻求支持，以促进博士培训的启动 莫桑比克主要国立大学爱德华多大学生物科学和公共卫生专业 Mondlane（UEM）.题为“加强莫桑比克高级生物医学培训”的方案带来了 莫桑比克艾滋病毒研究界的一个关键群体， Eduardo Mondlane医学院（UEM FoM）和兽医科学学院（FVS），国家研究所 最近，卫生部和马普托中心医院支持UEM， 生物科学和公共卫生博士学位。美国在这奋进的合作伙伴包括大学， 加州圣地亚哥大学（UCSD）和范德比尔特全球健康研究所（VIGH），这两个机构都在合作 在现有的D43培训赠款的支持下，与UEM合作培训硕士生。研究 与HIV-1相关共病的发病机制、预防和管理相关的培训，包括 结核病和肝炎病毒感染直接导致莫桑比克境内的主要发病原因。 此外，莫桑比克提供了一个独特的机会，进一步探讨艾滋病毒-1之间的重要相互作用， 以及热带和被忽视的疾病，如疟疾和血吸虫病， 与临床研究人员一起对这些病原体进行尖端的实验室研究， 了解和深入了解这些热带疾病。这种合作也将使 在新的床旁诊断和远程生物传感技术在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的医学院及其 雅各布斯工程学院（JSOE）和伊莱什贾尼的POC评估计划在INS。信息学， 生物统计学和定量生物学培训将为研究项目和早期职业生涯提供关键的严谨性 调查员在这个项目中。VIGH将领导公共卫生领域的合作活动， 运筹学建立在与UEM学院院长Moshin Sidat博士的长期合作关系之上。 这些地区的医药。莫桑比克和美国的教师集体寻求成功推出UEM的 生物科学和公共卫生博士学位，因为该国首次发展了提供博士学位的能力 在莫桑比克境内开展这两个学科的一级培训。

Abstract In this new application to the Fogarty Institute we are seeking support to facilitate the initiation of PhD training in Biosciences and Public Health at Mozambique’s major national University, the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (UEM). The program entitled “Enhancing Advanced Biomedical Training in Mozambique” brings together a critical mass of Mozambique’s HIV research community who are appointed at the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane’s Facultes of Medicine (UEM FoM) and Veterinary Sciences (FVS), the Instituto Nacional de Saude (INS) of the Ministry of Health and the Maputo Central Hospital in support of UEMs recently formulated PhD in Biosciences and Public Health. US partners in this endeavor include the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the Vanderbilt Institute of Global Health (VIGH), both of which collaborate with UEM in the training of masters level students with the support of existing D43 training grants. Research training related to the pathogenesis, prevention and management of HIV-1 related co-morbidities including tuberculosis and hepatitis virus infections directly address major causes of morbidity within Mozambique. Mozambique, in addition, provides a unique opportunity to further explore important interactions among HIV-1 and tropical and neglected diseases such as malaria and schistosomiasis by bringing together scientists conducting cutting edge laboratory research with these pathogens with clinical investigators with unique access and insights into these tropical diseases. The collaboration will also interface the substantial strengths in novel Point-of-Care diagnostic and remote biosensing technologies in UCSD’s School of Medicine and its Jacobs School of Engineering (JSOE) and with Ilesh Jani’s POC evaluation program at the INS. Informatics, biostatistics and quantitative biology training will provide critical rigor to both research projects and early career stage investigators in this program. VIGH will lead collaborative activities in the areas of Public Health and Operational Research building on its long relationship with Dr. Moshin Sidat, Dean of the UEM Faculty of Medicine in these areas. Collectively the faculty in Mozambique and the US seek to successfully launch UEM’s PhD in Biosciences and Public Health as the country develops for the first time the capacity to offer doctoral level training in these two disciplines within Mozambique.
