The University of Pittsburgh seeks continued support for multidisciplinary and innovative pre-doctoral training in Regenerative Medicine via the Cellular Approaches to Tissue Engineering & Regeneration (CATER) training program. The CATER program combines faculty and research expertise from an eclectic group of disciplines that combine tissue engineering with molecular and cellular approaches of therapies for human disease and regeneration. Regenerative medicine is truly a multidisciplinary field that brings together scientists from human biology, engineering, medical devices, material sciences, development, pathology, systems biology and applied technologies to focus on the repair and replacement of human tissues to restore form and function. A significant challenge in regenerative medicine is developing the next generation of experts with intellectual grasp of these diverse disciplines. This was the impetus behind the inception of the CATER program, which enabled cross-disciplinary training transcending the more traditional departmentally-focused research training programs. The CATER pre-doctoral training program embraces this multidisciplinary collaborative sentiment for research and education in regenerative medicine, abolishing silos within disciplines and remains the hallmark of the CATER program. The students matriculate into CATER program from the Bioengineering Graduate program in the School of Engineering or Interdisciplinary Biomedical Graduate program from the School of Medicine usually in their 2nd year based on successful nomination and evaluation for academic excellence and research in regenerative medicine. While CATER trainees are funded for the next 2 years as they accomplish coursework, develop research projects and become part of a robust, interactive and collaborative community, they remain part of CATER activities until their thesis defense and beyond. The goal of the CATER training program is to provide a solid foundation upon which to build a productive and independent career in regenerative medicine for human disease and injury. This goal is accomplished via a highly coordinated and mentored interdisciplinary training program, which combines required and elective courses, research and specialized training opportunities, including internships and professional development activities. Having been funded for 15 years, the CATER program continues to provide what we believe is timely, innovative and outstanding training in all key areas critical for success in regenerative medicine. CATER trainees have successfully established research programs in academia or industry, joined industry or government in regulatory domain, and have even gone on to more diverse professions like intellectual property law and FBI. We are confident that our program will continue to ‘cater’ to the evolving needs of our trainees and toward the advancing definition and depth of regenerative medicine as a discipline. We request continued support of NIBIB for 6 training slots to continue training our next generation of scientists practicing regenerative medicine, through coordinated, interdisciplinary and rigorous didactics; research; and professional training, via the CATER program.

匹兹堡大学寻求持续支持多学科和创新的博士前培训 通过细胞组织工程与再生方法 (CATER) 培训计划进行再生医学。 CATER 计划结合了来自不拘一格的学科组的教师和研究专业知识，这些学科结合了组织 利用分子和细胞方法治疗人类疾病和再生。 医学确实是一个多学科领域，汇集了来自人类生物学、工程学、医学的科学家 设备、材料科学、开发、病理学、系统生物学和应用技术，重点关注修复和 替换人体组织以恢复形态和功能是再生医学的一个重大挑战。 培养掌握这些不同学科知识的下一代专家。 CATER 计划启动的背后，该计划使跨学科培训超越了传统的培训方式 CATER 博士前培训计划涵盖了以部门为重点的研究培训计划。 再生医学研究和教育的多学科协作情​​绪，消除内部孤岛 学科并仍然是 CATER 项目的标志 学生从 CATER 项目入读。 工程学院生物工程研究生课程或跨学科生物医学研究生课程 通常在第二年从医学院获得成功的提名和学术评估 CATER 学员在未来 2 年将获得资助，因为他们在再生医学方面的卓越表现和研究。 完成课程作业、开发研究项目并成为强大、互动和协作社区的一部分， 在论文答辩及之后，他们仍然是 CATER 活动的一部分 CATER 培训计划的目标是 为在人类再生医学领域建立富有成效和独立的职业生涯提供坚实的基础 这一目标是通过高度协调和指导的跨学科培训计划来实现的， 它结合了必修课和选修课、研究和专业培训机会，包括实习和 CATER 计划已获得资助 15 年，并继续提供以下服务： 我们相信，所有关键领域的及时、创新和出色的培训对于再生医学的成功至关重要。 CATER学员已成功在学术界或工业界建立研究项目，加入工业界或政府 在监管领域，甚至进入了知识产权法和联邦调查局等更多元化的职业。 我们相信，我们的计划将继续“迎合”学员不断变化的需求，并推动不断进步 我们请求 NIBIB 继续支持 6 个培训名额。 通过协调一致，继续培训我们下一代从事再生医学的科学家， 通过 CATER 计划进行跨学科和严格的教学；研究和专业培训。
