DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This post-doctoral fellowship program is designed to train dermatologists and basic scientists who desire a thorough grounding in one or more of the following broad disciplines: biochemistry, cell biology, enzymology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, morphology, and photobiology. The basic aim of training is to provide an environment in which outstanding fellows can learn to be independent researchers in cutaneous biology. This goal will be accomplished through a mentored laboratory experience coupled with an intensive educational enrichment program. The thrust of our postdoctoral research training is that committed individuals spend a minimum of 2 years in a basic research laboratory and receive general and specialized instruction in the techniques of the laboratory by working on a well conceived problem with one or more mentors. During this time they will also be instructed in critical thinking, writing and presentation skills, the peer-review process and th responsible conduct of research. Trainees can choose research areas under the mentorship of senior scientists, either in the Department of Dermatology or in other departments (Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, or Pediatrics). Examples of research are: cell adhesion, cell motility, cell proliferation and differentiation, cutaneous immunology, epithelial stem cell biology, experimental carcinogenesis, extracellular matrix biology, inflammation, RNA silencing, signal transduction, wound healing and viral pathogenesis. The training sites on the Chicago and Evanston campuses provide state-of-the-art resources and facilities within individual laboratories and shared resources, including the Skin Disease Research Center. In addition to "in lab training", a major focal point of the program centers around educational enrichment activities. Trainees will attend and participate in seminar series such as the "Bench to Bedside" lecture series, the Epithelial Biology Group, basic science journal clubs, laboratory "Works in Progress" meetings, a Wound Healing and Fibrosis series and the Grand Rounds lecture series organized through the Department of Dermatology. Our first priority will be to enroll physician/scientists who have completed their residency in dermatology and hold either an M.D./Ph.D. or an M.D. degree. We will also consider Ph.D. scientists. Candidates will be carefully selected to include only those with outstanding academic records, who show considerable interest and commitment to cutaneous research and desire to continue in academic dermatology. Given the sustained strengthening of the Department of Dermatology, including the awarding of a Skin Disease Research Center, and a dramatic increase in dermatology residents with M.D./Ph.D. degrees, the time is right for formal support of a Post Graduate Training Program in Cutaneous Biology.

描述（由申请人提供）：该博士后奖学金计划旨在培训皮肤科医生和基础科学家，他们希望在以下一个或多个广泛学科中进行彻底的基础：生物化学，细胞生物学，酶学，遗传学，免疫学，微生物学，微生物学，分子生物学，形态学和光生学。培训的基本目的是提供一个环境，在这种环境中，出色的研究员可以学会成为皮肤生物学的独立研究人员。该目标将通过指导的实验室经验以及强化教育丰富计划来实现。我们的博士后研究培训的作用是，坚定的人在基础研究实验室中花费至少2年的时间，并通过处理一个或多个导师的构想问题，以接受实验室技术的一般和专业教学。在此期间，他们还将指导他们的批判性思维，写作和演示技巧，同行评审过程以及负责任的研究。学员可以在皮肤病学系或其他部门的高级科学家指导下选择研究领域（细胞和分子生物学，化学，医学，微生物学和免疫学，病理学或儿科）。研究的例子是：细胞粘附，细胞运动，细胞增殖和分化，皮肤免疫学，上皮干细胞生物学，实验性癌变，细胞外基质生物学，炎症，RNA沉默，信号静音，信号转移，伤口愈合和病毒病原体。芝加哥和埃文斯顿校园的培训地点提供了各个实验室和共享资源（包括皮肤病研究中心）内的最先进的资源和设施。除了“实验室培训”之外，该计划的主要焦点是围绕教育丰富活动的重点。学员将参加并参加研讨会系列，例如“卧床与床头”讲座系列，上皮生物学小组，基础科学杂志俱乐部，实验室“正在进行的工作”会议，一项伤口康复和纤维化系列以及通过皮肤病学系组织的Grands Rounds讲座系列。我们的首要任务是招募已经完成皮肤病学居住并持有M.D./ph.d的医师/科学家。或医学博士学位。我们还将考虑博士学位。科学家。候选人将被仔细选择，仅包括那些具有出色学术记录的人，他们对皮肤研究和渴望继续学术皮肤病学表现出巨大的兴趣和承诺。鉴于皮肤病学系的持续加强，包括授予皮肤病研究中心，以及M.D./ph.d的皮肤病学居民的急剧增加。学位是正式支持皮肤生物学研究生培训计划的正式支持的时候。
