DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Abstract) This proposal describes an interdisciplinary training program in Cardiovascular Biomedical Engineering dedicated to training predoctoral students in both the biological and engineering disciplines focusing on cardiovascular health in order to meet the demands of a growing biomedical engineering field. This program takes advantage of the strong expertise in bioengineering and cardiovascular biology present at the University of Arizona and in the Arizona industrial community. The recent formation of the interdisciplinary Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program has united this expertise, creating a strong environment for training of predoctoral candidates. Areas of expertise include: biomechanics, biomaterials, optics, molecular genetics, vascular physiology, imaging, tissue engineering, genetic engineering, and biocomputing. Training faculty are independent researchers with a shared commitment to graduate and post-graduate training. The faculty have a strong record of support and are actively involved in collaborative research activities. Inclusion of clinical faculty and participation in the Industrial Internship Program available through the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program will foster translational research projects for trainees. Training within this program involves laboratory and didactic experience. Research in the program is focused in three general areas: Implants, Tissue Engineering and Imaging as related to the cardiovascular system. Within these broad areas, topics being investigated in participating laboratories are: engineered blood vessels microvascular engineering, vascular modeling, vascular imaging by laser, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging of vascular perfusion, cardiovascular instrumentation, and intracellular imaging. In addition, trainees will have the opportunity to take internships with area industrial partners to gain exposure to the industrial sector. The didactic component includes attending the weekly Biomedical Engineering Seminar, attending the monthly Vascular Health discussion group, and participating in a monthly forum. In this forum, trainees formally present their research to the program group. In addition, 2 visiting scientists with recognized expertise in the area of cardiovascular engineering will be invited in per academic year to speak to the program. Core course requirements for predoctoral trainees are provided by the Biomedical Engineering Interdisciplinary graduate program. Progress of the trainees is monitored by the trainee's mentor, a program committee, and the general members of the program through the trainee's performance at the monthly forum.

描述（申请人的摘要）本提案描述了心血管生物医学工程中的跨学科培训计划，该计划致力于培训生物学和工程学科的培训前学生，旨在满足不断增长的生物医学工程领域的需求。 该计划利用了亚利桑那大学和亚利桑那工业社区的生物工程和心血管生物学方面的强大专业知识。 跨学科生物医学工程研究生课程的最新成立使这一专业知识团结在一起，为培训前候选人的培训创造了强大的环境。 专业领域包括：生物力学，生物材料，光学，分子遗传学，血管生理学，成像，组织工程，基因工程和生物计算。 培训学院是独立研究人员，他们对研究生和研究生培训的共同承诺。 该教师的支持记录很强，并积极参与协作研究活动。 包括临床教师并参加通过生物医学工程研究生计划获得的工业实习计划将为受训者促进转化研究项目。该计划中的培训涉及实验室和教学经验。该计划的研究集中在三个一般领域：与心血管系统有关的植入物，组织工程和成像。 在这些广泛的领域中，在参与实验室中研究的主题是：工程血管微血管工程，血管建模，激光对血管成像，血管灌注，心血管仪器的超声和磁共振成像以及细胞内成像的成像。此外，学员将有机会与地区工业合作伙伴实习，以获取对工业部门的接触。 教学成分包括参加每周的生物医学工程研讨会，参加每月的血管健康讨论小组，并参加每月的论坛。 在这个论坛中，学员正式向计划小组介绍了他们的研究。 此外，每学年将邀请2名在心血管工程领域具有公认专业知识的访问科学家与该计划交谈。 生物医学工程跨学科研究生课程提供了核心学员的核心课程要求。受训者的进度由学员的导师，计划委员会和计划的一般成员通过学员在每月论坛上的表现进行监控。
