Training in the Neuroscience of Mental Health

联系PD/PI：Rasenick，Mark 该培训计划(生物医学神经科学培训计划)的目标是 培养和培训基础和临床科学家，以了解大脑和大脑的生物学 并精通目前治疗精神疾病的方法。实习生被介绍给 通过一个项目，他们可以在多个实验室进行研究，研究任何 从神经元的分子和细胞生物学到精神病患者的脑成像。 这一综合计划允许学员开发新的实验方法，以实现 发现和治疗。生物医学神经科学培训计划也灌输了技能 有必要帮助临床实习生更有效地研究诊断、治疗和 预防精神疾病。我们的挑战是将分子和细胞 具有更高级别系统的神经生物学，因此大脑和大脑之间的融合可以 更好地理解。 训练师经过精心挑选，以提供一个基础和临床的环境 学员将本着真正的合作精神，丰富彼此的经验，学会合作 翻译研究。这些训练员被安置在学院的几个系里 医学(以及文理学院和药学学院的一些学生)，但 作为一个单一实体致力于培训计划。考生是研究生的混合体。 (博士和医学博士/博士)和博士后研究员(精神病学住院医生和临床医生 心理学研究员)。因此，除了研究培训外，该计划的一个具体目标是 培训精神病学家/心理学家从事研究，并使基础科学家对 从事翻译神经科学工作的可能性。此外，那些做基础工作的人 神经生物学逐渐适应了他们的研究对心理健康的影响。这个 该计划还支持一系列研讨会，预计将提供最新数据和猜测 基础神经科学和临床神经科学。最后强调的是，这一点的力量 该计划有能力招募和培训代表不足的少数族裔，并将他们带入 一批神经生物学、精神病学和临床心理学的研究人员。这个节目是 致力于所有受训人员从多样性中受益的原则。 项目摘要/摘要第6页

Contact PD/PI: Rasenick, Mark The objective of this training program (the Biomedical Neuroscience Training Program) is to develop and train basic and clinical scientists to understand the biology of the brain and mind and to be well versed in current therapies for psychiatric illness. The trainees are presented with a program that allows them to do research in a number of laboratories studying anything from the molecular and cellular biology of neurons to imaging of the brain in psychiatric patients. This comprehensive program allows trainees to develop novel experimental approaches to both discovery and therapy. The Biomedical Neuroscience Training Program also instills skills necessary to help clinical trainees more effectively research the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of psychiatric disease. Our challenge is to integrate molecular and cellular neurobiology with higher order systems so that the confluence between brain and mind can be better understood. Trainers have been carefully selected to provide an environment where basic and clinical trainees will enrich each other's experience and learn to work together in the spirit of truly translational research. These trainers are housed in several departments within the College of Medicine (as well as a few in the College of Arts and Sciences and Pharmacy) at UIC, but are committed to the training program as a single entity. Candidates are a mix of graduate students (both PhD and MD/PhD) and postdoctoral fellows (both psychiatry residents and clinical psychology fellows). Thus, in addition to research training, a specific goal of the program is to train psychiatrists/psychologists to engage in research and to excite basic scientists about the possibility of a career in translational neuroscience. Furthermore, those doing basic neurobiology become attuned to the implications of their research for mental health. The program also supports a series of colloquia expected to deliver current data and speculation about both basic and clinical neuroscience. Finally, it is emphasized that a strength of this program is its ability to recruit and train underrepresented minorities and to bring them into the ranks of researchers in neurobiology, psychiatry and clinical psychology. This program is committed to the principle that ALL trainees benefit from diversity. Project Summary/Abstract Page 6
