This post-doctoral fellowship program is designed to provide a rich environment of strong science and outstanding mentorship in which junior scientists, particularly dermatologist-scientists, can learn to be independent researchers with a focus on cutaneous biology. We have assembled a team of Primary Mentors (noted scientists focused on cutaneous biology who serve as the main laboratory mentors) and other top Northwestern faculty with cutting-edge skills and recognized mentoring skills (Resource Faculty) who together serve as the 4-5 member mentor team for each trainee. While several of our senior Mentors are from the Department of Dermatology, others who perform cutaneous research have a primary appointment in other departments (Biomedical Engineering, Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Material Science and Engineering, Medicine/ Allergy-Immunology, Pulmonary and Critical Care, and Rheumatology, Microbiology and Immunology, Molecular Biosciences, Pathology). Six major areas of research concentration are available to trainees: (i) Bioengineering and nanotechnology; (ii) Epithelial-mesenchymal communication and epithelial differentiation; (iii) Genomics/epigenomics; (iv) Immunology; (v) Metabolism; and (vi) Wound healing/skin regeneration. In addition to “in lab training”, a major focal point of the program centers in educational enrichment activities. Trainees attend and participate in a wide variety of seminars that dove-tail with the six areas of research focus, as well as the “Bench to Bedside” lecture series, journal clubs, laboratory “Works in Progress” meetings, and the Grand Rounds lecture series organized through the Department of Dermatology. We also have a unique “Road to Translational Research” mentoring team, which enables all trainees to become familiar with the process of moving forward in translational research. Critical thinking, writing and presentation skills, the peer-review process, and the responsible conduct of research, in addition to general and specialized instruction in laboratory techniques, are learned through determination of a well-conceived research problem, frequent reviews with the Primary Mentor and Mentoring Team, and participation in formal didactics and seminars. Training sites provide state-of-the-art resources and facilities within individual laboratories and shared resources, including the Skin Disease Research Center (SDRC). Our first priority has been to enroll physician/scientists who hold either an M.D./Ph.D. or an M.D. degree and have completed their residency in dermatology. We have also considered Ph.D. scientists. Candidates are selected to include only those with outstanding academic records, who show considerable interest and commitment to cutaneous research and a desire to continue in academic dermatology. Given the sustained strengthening of the Department of Dermatology, including the renewed funding of our SDRC and a dramatic increase in dermatology residents with M.D./Ph.D. degrees, continued formal support of our Post Graduate Training Program in Cutaneous Biology is warranted.

这项博士后奖学金计划旨在提供强大科学和的丰富环境 初级科学家，特别是皮肤科医生科学家可以学会成为的杰出心态 专注于皮肤生物学的独立研究人员。我们组建了一支主要导师团队 （注释科学家，专注于作为主要实验室导师的皮肤生物学）和其他顶部 具有尖端技能和公认的心理技能（资源教师）的西北教师 作为每个学员的4-5会员导师团队。虽然我们的几位高级导师来自 皮肤病学系，其他进行皮肤研究的其他人在其他方面有主要任命 部门（生物医学工程，细胞和分子生物学，化学，材料科学和 工程，医学/过敏 - 免疫学，肺和重症监护以及风湿病学，微生物学 和免疫学，分子生物科学，病理学）。提供了六个主要研究集中的领域 致学者：（i）生物工程和纳米技术； （ii）上皮 - 间质通信和上皮 分化； （iii）基因组学/表观基因组学； （iv）免疫学； （v）代谢； （vi）伤口愈合/皮肤 再生。除了“实验室培训”之外，该计划中心的主要焦点是教育中心 丰富活动。受训者参加并参加了各种各样的半手，与六个 研究重点领域以及“床头和床边”讲座系列，期刊俱乐部，实验室“在 进度”会议和通过皮肤病学系组织的大回合演讲系列。 我们也有一个独特的“转化研究之路”心理团队，这使所有受训者能够 熟悉转化研究中的前进过程。批判性思维，写作和 除了一般 和实验室技术专业教学，通过确定良好的构想来学习 研究问题，经常与主要导师和指导团队进行审查，并参与正式 教学和下水道。培训网站在个人内提供最先进的资源和设施 实验室和共享资源，包括皮肤病研究中心（SDRC）。我们的首要任务 是要注册M.D./ph.d的物理学/科学家。或医学博士学位并完成了他们的 皮肤病学居住。我们还考虑了博士学位。科学家。选择候选人仅包括 那些具有出色学术记录的人，对皮肤表现出极大的兴趣和承诺 研究和继续从事学术皮肤病学的愿望。考虑到持续的加强 皮肤病学系，包括我们的SDRC的新资金和急剧增加 皮肤病学居民具有医学博士/ph.D。学位，继续正式支持我们的研究生培训 有必要在皮肤生物学方面进行程序。
