Emory Acute Lung Injury Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：这个新的埃默里急性肺损伤培训计划是由一个多样化和富有成效的教师导师组形成的，其共同目标是培训博士后翻译研究人员，他们可以改变我们预测，检测和治疗肺损伤的能力。 并预防脆弱人群的严重肺部疾病。该计划将开始与四个博士后培训插槽，将用于支持儿科和成人肺生物学的博士和医学博士科学家的研究培训，重点是阐明氧化应激使肺易受损伤和感染的常见机制。此外，两个短期职位将用于支持少数民族医学生，并向他们介绍转化研究，从而为他们提供必要的兴奋和鼓励，让他们在医学生涯中走上这条道路。该计划将由儿科系和新生儿科的Lou Ann Brown博士以及医学系和肺、过敏和重症监护医学科的医学博士大卫圭多指导。他们从医学院的儿科和医学系以及罗林斯公共卫生学院的生物统计学和流行病学系招募了多学科的导师。博士后医学博士研究员将从儿科和医学系的优秀奖学金培训计划中招募。博士后博士研究员将从全国合格候选人库以及埃默里大学兰尼研究生院不同生物医学学科的当地竞争毕业生库中招募。两名短期暑期研究少数民族学生将从莫尔豪斯医学院招募，在那里，项目主任与学生事务主任建立了良好的关系，并在过去五年中与他们的顶尖学生有着丰富的培训历史。(End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new Emory Acute Lung Injury Training Program is being formed by a diverse and productive group of faculty mentors with the common goal of training post-doctoral translational investigators who can transform our ability to predict, detect and prevent serious lung diseases in vulnerable populations. The Program will begin with four post-doctoral training slots that will be used to support research training for PhD and MD scientists in both pediatric and adult lung biology with a distinct focus on elucidating the common mechanisms by which oxidative stress renders the lung susceptible to injury and infection. In addition, two short-term positions will be used to support minority medical students and introduce them to translational research and thereby impart the excitement and encouragement necessary for them to pursue this pathway in their medical careers. The Program will be directed by Lou Ann Brown, PhD from the Department of Pediatrics and the Division of Neonatology and by David Guidot, MD from the Department of Medicine and the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine. They have enlisted a multidisciplinary faculty of mentors from the Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine within the School of Medicine, as well as from the Departments of Biostatistics and Epidemiology within the Rollins School of Public Health. Post-doctoral MD fellows will be recruited from the outstanding fellowship training programs in the Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine. Post-doctoral PhD fellows will be recruited from the national pool of qualified candidates as well as from the local pool of competitive graduates from diverse biomedical disciplines within the Laney Graduate School at Emory University. The two short-term summer research minority students will be recruited from the Morehouse School of Medicine where the Program Directors have an established relationship with the Dean of Student Affairs and a substantial training history with their top students over the past five years.
