项目摘要

The number of available organs is severely limited by a shortage of donors. A new field of science, regenerative medicine, has emerged that brings the potential of designing and creating artificial organs or parts of organs very close to a reality. To develop functional tissue it will be required to apply genetic, computational, and tissue engineering approaches in a novel way. This will require a novel type of scientist who has been well-trained in the concepts and methods at the interfaces of multiple disciplines. Successfully integrating the approaches of developmental biology, genomic, computational and quantitative science, and tissue engineering could dramatically catalyze the formation of a new interdisciplinary approach to organ building. This would have a profound impact on the treatment of many diseases. The SysCODE (Systems-based Consortium for Organ Design and Engineering) Training Program involves educational and research communities at Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. The primary goal is to is to cross-train young postdoctoral trainees in an area of expertise outside of their primary research field. Working at the intersection of multiple disciplines will enable these trainees to learn a new language and ultimately develop a common dialect that effectively bridges disciplines. This new generation of scholars will be better prepared to address the complexity of organ design and engineering from an interdisciplinary approach. The fabric of collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches to science will break from the usual "one postdoctoral fellow - one mentor - one laboratory" approach to postgraduate training in the sciences and will actively encourage communication across laboratories, institutions and geographic boundaries. This program will provide postdoctoral trainees with tools necessary for becoming independent investigators with unique faculty in the interdisciplinary approach to science.

由于捐赠者短缺，可用器官的数量受到严重限制。一个新的科学领域，再生医学的出现带来了设计和制造人造器官或器官的某些部分非常接近现实。为了发育功能组织，需要应用遗传、以一种新颖的方式进行计算和组织工程方法。这将需要一种新型的科学家他在多学科交叉的概念和方法方面接受过良好的培训。成功地整合发育生物学、基因组学、计算和定量科学的方法，以及组织工程可以极大地促进新的跨学科器官研究方法的形成建筑。这将对许多疾病的治疗产生深远的影响。 SysCODE（基于系统的器官设计与工程联盟）培训计划涉及哈佛大学、麻省理工学院、波士顿大学和范德比尔特大学学院的教育和研究社区医学。主要目标是在专业领域对年轻的博士后学员进行交叉培训超出了他们的主要研究领域。在多个学科的交叉点上工作将使这些学员学习一门新语言并最终发展出一种有效沟通的共同方言学科。新一代学者将为解决器官的复杂性做好更好的准备采用跨学科方法进行设计和工程。协作和跨学科的结构科学方法将打破通常的“一名博士后 - 一名导师 - 一个实验室” 科学研究的研究生培训方法，并将积极鼓励跨学科的交流实验室、机构和地理边界。该计划将为博士后培训生提供成为具有跨学科方法独特能力的独立研究者所必需的工具科学。
