PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT There is an existing need for talented veterinary scientists trained in basic and translational research who apply the principles of “One Health” to discover the next generation of advances in medicine for the improvement of health in humans. This application to renew an institutional T32 grant seeks funds to extend our efforts to build an outstanding program for veterinarians to acquire the knowledge and skills in basic science, comparative medicine and translational research in order to develop and apply models of human disease for the purpose of improving human health. The specific goal of our Training Program is to nurture the development of DVM investigators in the broad field of biomedical research with the expectation that these individuals will go on to become independent investigators at academic institutions or industry. This will be achieved by pursing the following Specific Aims: Aim 1: Identify a diverse and well-qualified pool of applicants from across the country; Aim 2: Provide an inspiring didactic program that is tailored to each applicants learning agenda; Aim 3: Acquaint trainees with the ongoing approaches for basic, computational and/or translational research related to human disease; Aim 4: Mentor the trainees in the design, execution, evaluation and presentation of experiments leading to original research and giving the trainees the skills required for independent careers in academics. Through this program, trainees will gain knowledge and technical skills to fully understand and evaluate the pathogenesis of disease in humans as well as animal models of human disease through both didactic coursework and applied training in microbiology, immunology, computational studies and comparative medicine. Trainees will be able to find mentorship from a successful group of scientists who are dedicated to research training. The mentors/thesis advisors are comprised of experienced preceptors from basic and translational research programs in microbiology, immunology, cancer, neurobiology, evolution, bioinformatics and comparative medicine that include a cadre of veterinarians with an established record in post-graduate training and mentorship of DVM graduates. Their research programs utilize collaborative and multi-disciplinary approaches employing state-of-the-art techniques in cell biology, microbiology, immunology, systems biology, bioinformatics and comparative pathology. By observing strong, interactive programs in multiple departments at UCSD and throughout the research community in San Diego, the trainees will have an outstanding opportunity to pursue an agenda for successful professional development. This training program will be administered by faculty associated with the UCSD Center for Veterinary Sciences and Comparative Medicine. As a result of this training program, trainees will gain a comprehensive understanding of hypothesis-based research and gain knowledge and skills required for productive careers in academics that will address the national needs for the development of skilled scientists in mouse pathobiology and comparative medicine relevant to human health.

项目摘要/摘要 现有的需要接受基础和翻译研究培训的才华横溢的兽医科学家 “一个健康”的原则是发现下一代医学进步以改善 人类的健康。续签机构T32赠款的申请寻求资金来扩展我们的努力 兽医获得基础科学知识和技能的杰出计划 医学和翻译研究以开发和应用人类疾病模型的目的 改善人类健康。我们的培训计划的具体目标是护理DVM的发展 生物医学研究广泛领域的研究人员期望这些人会继续 成为学术机构或行业的独立研究人员。这将通过追求 以下特定目的：目标1：确定来自全国各地的转移和合格的申请人库； AIM 2：提供一个启发性的教学计划，该计划是为每个申请人学习议程量身定制的；目标3： 熟人的受训者采用与基础，计算和/或翻译研究的持续方法有关 人类疾病；目标4：指导培训的设计，执行，评估和演示 实验导致原始研究并为培训提供独立职业所需的技能 学术界。通过该计划，学员将获得知识和技术技能，以充分理解和 通过两者都评估人类疾病的发病机理以及人类疾病的动物模型 教学课程和微生物学，免疫学，计算研究和比较的应用培训 药品。学员将能够从致力于的科学家群体中找到精神训练 研究培训。导师/论文顾问积累了来自基本和 微生物学，免疫学，癌症，神经生物学，进化，生物信息学的转化研究计划 和比较医学，其中包括一群兽医的干部，并在研究后既有记录 DVM毕业生的培训和心态。他们的研究计划利用协作和多学科 采用细胞生物学，微生物学，免疫学，系统生物学， 生物信息学和比较病理学。通过观察多个部门的强大互动计划 在UCSD以及圣地亚哥的整个研究社区，学员将拥有出色的 有机会追求成功的专业发展议程。该培训计划将是 由与UCSD兽医科学与比较医学中心相关的教师管理。 由于该培训计划，学员将获得对基于假设的全面理解 研究并获得学术界产品职业所需的知识和技能，以解决 国家对小鼠病理生物学和比较医学科学家发展的需求 与人类健康有关。
