NCRM Director Recruitment, Staff Hires, and IRP Training

NIH再生医学中心（NCRM）代表了由共同基金支持的内部计划中的一项新举措。NCRM旨在成为诱导多能干细胞（iPSC）技术和转化应用的卓越基础。该设施将嵌入NIH IRP，并将利用与这项强大技术的开发和临床应用相关的实质性专业知识。该中心将由即将招募/确定的iPS细胞生物学国际领导者领导，并将作为NIH内部计划中多个IC的再生科学的焦点。重点将放在iPS细胞的潜在临床应用上，利用NCGC的高通量能力和NIH临床中心提供的独特临床研究机会。NiPC将作为iPS细胞技术的卓越中心，开发实验工具和其产生的细胞系的储存库，并提供质量控制和标准，从而使更广泛的研究社区受益并推进个性化医疗。 NCRM的首要目标之一是招聘和雇用一名董事。 在2010财年，NCRM还聘请了两名全职工作人员来开始这一过程。主任一职已公布，已成立一个遴选委员会，并对候选人进行了面试。除了董事招聘和员工招聘，NCRM已投入努力，以加强在校内计划的iPSC研究。 NCRM签约提供培训课程，让IRP成员开始产生iPSC。

The NIH Center for Regenerative Medicine (NCRM)represents a new initiative within the intramural program, which is supported by the Common Fund. NCRM aims to be a foundation for excellence in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology and translational applications. This facility will be embedded within the NIH IRP and will capitalize on the substantive expertise relevant to the development and clinical applications of this powerful technology. The Center will be led by a to-be-recruited/identified international leader in iPS cell biology, and will serve as a focal point for regenerative science in multiple ICs within the NIH Intramural Program. Emphasis will be on potential clinical applications of iPS cells, capitalizing upon the high throughput capabilities of the NCGC and the unique clinical research opportunities provided by the NIH Clinical Center. The NiPC will serve as hub of excellence in iPS cell technology, develop experimental tools and a repository for the lines it generates, and provide quality control and standards, thereby benefitting the broader research community and advancing personalized medicine. One of the first goals of the NCRM is to recruit and hire a Director. In FY10, NCRM also hired two full time staff members to begin this process. The Director position has been advertised, a Search Committee has been established, and candidates have been interviewed. In addition to Director recruitment and staff hires, NCRM has put effort into enhancing iPSC research in the intramural program. NCRM contracted to offer a training course to allow IRP members to begin generating iPSCs.
