项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alcohol abuse is the single most common known and preventable cause of birth defects, and a major contributor to both chronic liver disease and neurodegeneration in the United States. Our research has linked several chronic alcohol exposure-mediated abnormalities in brain and liver function to impairments in insulin and insulin-like growth factor signaling, particularly with regard to cell survival and energy metabolism. However, in order to capitalize on these recent gains, it will be necessary to extend the analyses to human disease states using state-of-the-art methodology. The major goals of this proposal are to: 1) investigate mechanisms of alcohol-mediated neurodegeneration in adult human brains using molecular and biochemical approaches; 2) provide a strong, highly supportive environment to train and mentor junior investigators, particularly physician-scientists, to investigate human disease mechanisms by utilizing current technology to analyze human tissue samples; and 3) educate junior investigators about the importance of experimental models for testing hypotheses and validating results from human studies. Emphasis will be placed on including women and minority trainees. Suzanne M. De la Monte is a Pathologist and Neuropathologist by training and clinical activities at the Rhode Island Hospital, and Professor of Pathology and Clinical Neuroscience at Brown University. Dr. De la Monte has a long track record of training young investigators in human disease, biomedical, and translational research. Her laboratory, which currently is supported by NIH funding from NIAAA, hosts several trainees including undergraduates, medical students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior physician-scientists, most of whom are women or members of under-represented minority groups. This Mid-career investigator award will provide better opportunity for Dr. De la Monte to exercise leadership and high quality mentorship and training of promising young scientists. The information included in this application demonstrates a productive career in human and translational research, and demonstrates Dr. De la Monte's commitment to continuing this type of work while mentoring scientists for the future.

描述（由申请人提供）：酗酒是导致出生缺陷的最常见且可预防的原因，也是美国慢性肝病和神经退行性疾病的主要原因。我们的研究将一些慢性酒精暴露介导的脑和肝功能异常与胰岛素和胰岛素样生长因子信号传导损伤联系起来，特别是在细胞存活和能量代谢方面。然而，为了利用这些最近的成果，有必要使用最先进的方法将分析扩展到人类疾病状态。该提案的主要目标是：1）利用分子和生化方法研究成人大脑中酒精介导的神经变性的机制； 2) 提供强大、高度支持的环境来培训和指导初级研究人员，特别是医师科学家，利用现有技术分析人体组织样本来研究人类疾病机制； 3) 教育初级研究者了解以下内容的重要性用于测试假设和验证人体研究结果的实验模型。将重点关注女性和少数民族学员。 Suzanne M. De la Monte 是一名病理学家和神经病理学家，曾在罗德岛医院接受培训并从事临床活动，同时也是布朗大学病理学和临床神经科学教授。德拉蒙特博士在培训人类疾病、生物医学和转化研究领域的年轻研究人员方面有着长期的记录。她的实验室目前得到了 NIAAA 的 NIH 资助，接待了多名学员，包括本科生、医学生、研究生、博士后研究员和初级医师科学家，其中大多数是女性或代表性不足的少数群体成员。这项职业生涯中期研究员奖将为德拉蒙特博士提供更好的机会来发挥领导力以及对有前途的年轻科学家进行高质量的指导和培训。本申请中包含的信息展示了德拉蒙特博士在人类和转化研究方面富有成效的职业生涯，并表明了德拉蒙特博士致力于继续开展此类工作，同时为未来的科学家提供指导。
