Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program

跨学科生物医学成像培训计划 摘要 跨学科生物医学成像培训计划将准备博士前学员成为领导者 在生物体水平，生物医学成像技术和应用研究。工程师多学科团队- neers，物理学家，生物学家和临床医生需要推进生物医学成像，特别是与广告， 体内细胞和分子成像的突破口。我们将创造下一代跨学科的生物医学 成像科学家和工程师谁将有助于和领导这样的团队。我们的培训计划将建立 在持续的，重大的机构，国家，联邦，和教师和成像基础设施的商业投资， 结构培训补助金将使学生成为正在进行的跨学科研究的中心。 非/多学科研究计划。学员将使用病例中心的成像设施进行成像 研究包括最先进的临床和临床前成像系统，沿着指导实验室 教师。博士前学员将来自生物医学工程和物理学的高评价部门， 这两个机构在生物医学成像方面都有很长的培训历史。学员将开展研究项目 将成像技术与生物医学研究相结合。每名受训者将有两名或更多的人- 代表成像技术和成像的生物/临床应用的两个方面。我们的教育专业- gram包括一系列成像课程，包括重点关注成像物理、图像分析和 重建，以及纳米医学。我们将在设计期间促进跨学科研究的文化- 影像小时我们的T32使我们能够增加对妇女和代表性不足的实里人的招聘- 关系的总的来说，与博士后相比，它有助于使研究生具有成本效益，并确保 在这一迫切需要的领域培训国内博士。在不到九年的时间里，我们的T32项目已经 成功地培养了几名毕业生，他们都有模范的培训记录，并朝着成功的方向发展。 cess.其他学员正在通过该计划的重点是令人兴奋的跨学科成像研究 并具有良好的科研生产力。

Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program Abstract The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program will prepare predoctoral trainees to become leaders in organism-level, biomedical imaging technology and application research. Multi-disciplinary teams of engi- neers, physicists, biologists, and clinicians are required to advance biomedical imaging, especially with the ad- vent of in vivo cellular and molecular imaging. We will create the next generation of interdisciplinary biomedical imaging scientists and engineers who will contribute to and lead such teams. Our training program will build upon continuing, significant institutional, state, federal, and commercial investment in faculty and imaging infra- structure. A training grant award will place students squarely in the center of on-going interdiscipli- nary/multidisciplinary research programs. Trainees will use imaging facilities in the Case Center for Imaging Research which includes state-of-the-art clinical and preclinical imaging systems, along with labs of mentoring faculty. Predoctoral trainees will be from the highly-rated departments of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, both of which have a long history of training in biomedical imaging. Trainees will conduct research projects combining enabling technologies in imaging with biomedical research. Each trainee will have two or more men- tors representing both imaging technology and biological/clinical applications of imaging. Our educational pro- gram includes a portfolio of imaging courses, including ones focusing on imaging physics, image analysis, and reconstruction, as well as nanomedicine. We will promote a culture of interdisciplinary research during a desig- nated Imaging Hour. Our T32 has enabled us to increase recruitment of women and under-represented minori- ties. In general, it has helped make graduate students cost effective as compared to post docs and ensured training of domestic PhD’s in this area of critical need. In less than nine years, our T32 program has already successfully trained several graduates, all with exemplary training records and with a trajectory towards suc- cess. Other trainees are moving through the program focusing on exciting interdisciplinary imaging research and with excellent research productivity.
