Research Training in Blood Diseases and Resources

描述（由申请人提供）：波士顿大学-波士顿医学中心血液疾病和资源培训计划（HTP）是一项血液学研究培训计划，自1980年以来一直活跃在波士顿大学医学中心，目前每年支持四名博士前和四名博士后学员。该培训项目的目的是为21名HTP教师中的研究生和博士、医学博士或医学博士博士后学员提供血液学研究方面的培训。我们的项目教师在四个领域进行血液学相关的研究：血红蛋白病，血小板和血栓形成生物学，造血和类红细胞信号传导和免疫病理学。BU和BUSM为对血液学相关基础科学，转化或临床研究项目感兴趣的学员提供了丰富的研究环境。HTP学员可获得的研究资源包括波士顿大学镰状细胞病卓越中心、BUSM再生医学中心和BUSM淀粉样变性中心。该计划的优势之一是在每周的期刊俱乐部和工作研讨会之间的定期互动HTP支持的博士生，博士后（博士）研究员和医生进行他们的血液学研究金。在每周一次的血液学大圆桌会议上，外部血液学研究人员将进行讲座，这些专家将与HTP学员会面。博士生进入HTP后，在各种BU或BUSM博士课程录取，包括生物化学，生物学，生物统计学，微生物学，分子医学，病理学和药理学。现在为希望获得血液学相关临床研究培训的医生提供了一个新的临床研究轨道。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Boston University-Boston Medical Center Training Program in Blood Diseases and Resources" (HTP) is a training program in hematology research that has been active at Boston University Medical Center since 1980, currently supporting four pre-doctoral and four post-doctoral trainees/year. The objective of this training program is to provide training in hematology research to graduate students and PhD, MD, or MD PhD post- doctoral trainees who work with any of 21 HTP faculty. Our program faculty carry out hematology-related research in four areas: Hemoglobinopathies, Platelet and Thrombosis Biology, Hematopoiesis, and Lymphoid Cell Signaling and Immunopathology. BU and BUSM offer a rich research environment for trainees interested in hematology-related basic science, translational or clinical research projects. Among the research resources available to HTP trainees are the Boston University Center of Excellence in Sickle Cell Disease, the BUSM Center for Regenerative Medicine and the BUSM Amyloidosis Center. One of the strengths of the program is regular interaction at weekly Journal Clubs and Work Seminars between HTP-supported doctoral students, post-doctoral (PhD) fellows and physicians carrying out their hematology fellowships. At the weekly Hematology Grand Rounds, talks are given by outside hematology researchers and such experts are made available to meet with HTP trainees. Doctoral students enter the HTP after having matriculated in variety of BU or BUSM doctoral programs, including Biochemistry, Biology, Biostatistics, Microbiology, Molecular Medicine, Pathology and Pharmacology. A new clinical research track is now offered to physicians who wish to obtain training in hematology-related clinical research.
