Digestive Disease Training Program

项目摘要 南卡罗来纳州医科大学（MUSC）消化系统疾病培训计划的目的是培训 一批研究人员将推动肝脏和胃肠道（GI）相关生物医学研究的未来 在三个基本的主题领域：1）炎症和纤维化; 2）代谢性疾病;和3）器官和 组织失效。这些主题与影响胃肠道健康的主要疾病状态高度相关， 肝脏和建立在我们既定的研究人员的优势。该计划的重点是训练 研究生在基础生物医学研究的方式，将推进研究的艺术 消化和肝脏疾病的基本机制。成功将扩大合格人才库 消化系统疾病的研究人员和促进新的治疗方法的发展。学员将从以下人员中选出： 申请进入MUSC研究生学院的申请人。在完成一个基本的生物医学 科学课程在他们作为研究生的第一年，学员被任命为消化系统疾病 培训计划将采取新开发的课程，重点是消化系统疾病的研究， 补充他们的论文研究项目。此外，他们还可以参加提供指导的课程， 在专业发展，实验设计和分析，以及严谨，负责任的研究行为。 学生的课程将与一些丰富的活动，包括消化系统疾病的补充 研讨会系列，期刊俱乐部，年度消化系统疾病务虚会，以及众多的职业发展 机会该计划将得到MUSC消化系统疾病研究增长的支持， 通过战略机构投资，方案支持，和关键教师的招聘。MUSC的强大 临床环境，对多样性的承诺，以及对众多研究核心的投资将继续 推进校园消化系统疾病研究，为学员提供强大的学术培训 环境

PROJECT SUMMARY The purpose of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Digestive Disease Training Program is to train a cadre of researchers who will drive the future of liver and gastrointestinal (GI)-related biomedical research within three fundamental thematic areas: 1) Inflammation and Fibrosis; 2) Metabolic Disease; and 3) Organ and Tissue Failure. These themes are highly-relevant to major disease states affecting the health of the GI tract and liver and build upon the strengths of our established researchers. The emphasis of the program is to train graduate students in the art of basic biomedical research in a manner that will advance the study of the fundamental mechanisms underlying digestive and liver disease. Success will expand the pool of qualified digestive disease researchers and facilitate the development of novel treatments. Trainees will be selected from a pool of applicants that enter the MUSC College of Graduate Studies. After completing a basic biomedical sciences curriculum during their first year in as graduate students, trainees appointed to the Digestive Disease Training Program will take newly-developed courses that focus on digestive disease research and that complement their dissertation research projects. In addition, they will have access to courses offering instruction in professional development, experimental design and analyses, and rigorous, responsible conduct of research. Students’ coursework will be complemented with a number of enrichment activities including a Digestive Disease Seminar Series, a Journal Club, an Annual Digestive Disease Retreat, and numerous career development opportunities. The program will be supported by a growth in digestive disease research at MUSC that is driven by strategic institutional investments, programmatic support, and the recruitment of key faculty. MUSC’s robust clinical environment, commitment to diversity, and investments in numerous research cores will continue to advance digestive disease research on campus and provide trainees with a robust and scholarly training environment.
