Proposed herein is a training program - Lipid Signaling and Functional Lipidomics in Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases (LCRD) - for MD/PhD students and postdoctoral fellows at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine. The LCRD training program is an outgrowth of VCU's long history of innovative cardiovascular research combined with our strength in lipid metabolism, signaling, and functional lipidomics. New scientists are needed in the area of lipid signaling and functions in heart, respiratory, and cardiovascular disorders because future success in prevention and treatment of these increasingly important human diseases will require sophisticated understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved and the use of molecular biology, genomic and bioinformatics technology, as well as the new technology of lipidomics/metabolomics. The goal of the program is to provide exceptional interdisciplinary training in preparation for careers as independent investigators dedicated to biomedical research in heart, lung, and blood disorders. This interdepartmental training program is directed individually by highly qualified research advisors, including several MD and MD/PhD mentors who serve as outstanding role models, and overall by a program steering committee, which has two members who ran highly successful longstanding MD/PhD programs. Hence, LCRD trainees will benefit from an extended network of mentors, including members of their individual trainee advisory committees and the LCRD Steering Committee. Training includes rigorous laboratory research, seminars, advanced courses, biweekly LCRD Colloquium, and annual LCRD Research Retreat. A major strength is the quality of the research programs of the 22 well-funded program faculty members from five departments who have productive, energetic, and collaborative research efforts in many areas of relevant to thematic focus of this program. Trainees benefit from vigorous faculty involvement, experiences in communication of their work, and excellent core facilities, including state of the art lipidomics/metabolomics, all of which provide a superb environment for training the next generations of cardiovascular and pulmonary investigators who will make basic biomedical discoveries and translate them into better patient outcomes.

本文提出的是一项培训计划 - 心血管和呼吸道疾病（LCRD）的脂质信号传导和功能性脂质组学 - 用于MD/PHD学生和弗吉尼亚州英联邦大学（VCU）医学院的博士学位学生和博士后研究员。 LCRD培训计划是VCU悠久的创新心血管研究历史的生长，并结合了我们在脂质代谢，信号传导和功能性脂质组学方面的力量。在脂质信号传导和心脏，呼吸道和功能的领域需要新科学家 心血管疾病是因为未来在预防和治疗这些日益重要的人类疾病方面的成功将需要对所涉及的分子和细胞机制的复杂理解，以及分子生物学，基因组和生物信息学技术的使用，以及Lipidove/lipidomomics/AnaboBolomics的新技术。该计划的目的是提供特殊的跨学科培训，以准备职业，作为专门致力于心脏，肺和生物医学研究的独立研究人员 血液疾病。该部门间培训计划由高素质的研究顾问分别指导，包括几位医学博士和医学博士/博士学位导师，他们是杰出的榜样，总体而言，该计划指导委员会拥有两个成员，他们经营了非常成功的长期以来的MD/PHD计划。因此，LCRD学员将受益于扩展的导师网络，包括 他们的个人培训咨询委员会和LCRD指导委员会。培训包括严格的实验室研究，研讨会，高级课程，双周LCRD座谈会和年度LCRD研究务虚会。一个主要的优势是来自五个部门的22个资助良好计划的教职员工的研究计划的质量，他们在与该计划的主题重点有关的许多领域中具有富有成效，充满活力和协作的研究工作。受训者受益于有力的教师参与， 他们的工作交流和出色的核心设施的经验，包括最先进的脂质组学/代谢组学，所有这些都为培训下一代的心血管和肺部研究人员提供了极好的环境，这些调查人员将提供基本的生物医学发现并将其转化为更好的患者成果。
