Cellular Approaches to Tissue Engineering and Regeneration

匹兹堡大学寻求继续支持多学科和创新的博士前培训 通过组织工程和再生的细胞方法(CATER)培训计划进行再生医学。 Cater计划结合了一组兼收并蓄的学科的教师和研究专业知识，这些学科结合了组织 人类疾病和再生治疗的分子和细胞方法工程学。再生性 医学是一个真正的多学科领域，汇集了来自人类生物学、工程学、医学 设备、材料科学、开发、病理学、系统生物学和应用技术，专注于修复和 替换人体组织以恢复形态和功能。再生医学面临的一个重大挑战是 培养具有这些不同学科知识的下一代专家。这就是推动力 餐饮计划的开始背后，使跨学科培训超越了更传统的 以部门为重点的研究培训计划。餐饮博士前培训计划就是这样的。 对再生医学研究和教育的多学科合作情绪，废除内部孤岛 纪律，并仍然是餐饮计划的标志。学生从大学入学参加餐饮计划。 工程学院生物工程研究生课程或跨学科生物医学研究生课程 来自医学院的学生通常在二年级的基础上成功提名和评估学术 在再生医学方面的卓越表现和研究。而餐饮实习生在接下来的两年里会得到资助，因为他们 完成课程，开发研究项目，并成为强大、互动和协作社区的一部分， 他们仍然是餐饮活动的一部分，直到他们的论文答辩和以后。餐饮培训计划的目标是 为人类在再生医学领域建立富有成效和独立的职业生涯奠定坚实的基础 疾病和伤害。这一目标是通过高度协调和有指导的跨学科培训计划实现的， 它结合了必修课和选修课、研究和专门培训机会，包括实习和 职业发展活动。在资助了15年后，餐饮计划继续提供什么 我们相信，在对再生医学的成功至关重要的所有关键领域，都有及时、创新和出色的培训。 餐饮实习生成功地在学术界或行业建立了研究项目，加入了行业或政府 在监管领域，甚至已经进入了更多样化的职业，如知识产权法和联邦调查局。我们 我们相信，我们的计划将继续满足学员不断变化的需求，并朝着不断进步的方向发展 再生医学作为一门学科的定义和深度。我们请求继续支持NIBIB提供6个培训时段 继续培养我们下一代从事再生医学的科学家，通过协调， 跨学科和严格的教学；研究；以及通过餐饮计划进行的专业培训。

The University of Pittsburgh seeks continued support for multidisciplinary and innovative pre-doctoral training in Regenerative Medicine via the Cellular Approaches to Tissue Engineering & Regeneration (CATER) training program. The CATER program combines faculty and research expertise from an eclectic group of disciplines that combine tissue engineering with molecular and cellular approaches of therapies for human disease and regeneration. Regenerative medicine is truly a multidisciplinary field that brings together scientists from human biology, engineering, medical devices, material sciences, development, pathology, systems biology and applied technologies to focus on the repair and replacement of human tissues to restore form and function. A significant challenge in regenerative medicine is developing the next generation of experts with intellectual grasp of these diverse disciplines. This was the impetus behind the inception of the CATER program, which enabled cross-disciplinary training transcending the more traditional departmentally-focused research training programs. The CATER pre-doctoral training program embraces this multidisciplinary collaborative sentiment for research and education in regenerative medicine, abolishing silos within disciplines and remains the hallmark of the CATER program. The students matriculate into CATER program from the Bioengineering Graduate program in the School of Engineering or Interdisciplinary Biomedical Graduate program from the School of Medicine usually in their 2nd year based on successful nomination and evaluation for academic excellence and research in regenerative medicine. While CATER trainees are funded for the next 2 years as they accomplish coursework, develop research projects and become part of a robust, interactive and collaborative community, they remain part of CATER activities until their thesis defense and beyond. The goal of the CATER training program is to provide a solid foundation upon which to build a productive and independent career in regenerative medicine for human disease and injury. This goal is accomplished via a highly coordinated and mentored interdisciplinary training program, which combines required and elective courses, research and specialized training opportunities, including internships and professional development activities. Having been funded for 15 years, the CATER program continues to provide what we believe is timely, innovative and outstanding training in all key areas critical for success in regenerative medicine. CATER trainees have successfully established research programs in academia or industry, joined industry or government in regulatory domain, and have even gone on to more diverse professions like intellectual property law and FBI. We are confident that our program will continue to ‘cater’ to the evolving needs of our trainees and toward the advancing definition and depth of regenerative medicine as a discipline. We request continued support of NIBIB for 6 training slots to continue training our next generation of scientists practicing regenerative medicine, through coordinated, interdisciplinary and rigorous didactics; research; and professional training, via the CATER program.
