Project Abstract/Summary This T32 proposal is for the support of an interdisciplinary, pre-doctoral training program entitled “Cardiovascular Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Training Program at Emory University and Georgia Tech” (CBT@EmTech). The goal of CBT@EmTech is to develop an innovative graduate program to train the next generation of cardiovascular leaders at the intersection of cardiovascular biomechanics, mechanobiology, medical imaging, computational modeling, medical devices, therapeutics discovery and delivery, and data science to address translationally relevant cardiovascular biomechanics, pathophysiology, therapies, and diagnostics. The Program is built on a long history of ground-breaking research applying biomechanics to the field of cardiovascular disease at Emory and Georgia Tech. The Program leverages our long-standing successes in research and education in cardiovascular biomechanics and medicine across Emory and Georgia Tech. CBT@EmTech trainees will be recruited from an applicant pool of >80 diverse groups of eligible students, including women and underrepresented minorities from the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Georgia Tech and Emory and the Interdisciplinary Bioengineering (BioE) Graduate Program at Georgia Tech. BioE graduate students come from various home Departments, including Electrical and Computer and Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Departments of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Chemistry at Emory. We request support for six students per year over five years to provide two years of support for each student in years 1 and 2 of their PhD program. In addition to the T32-supported positions, two additional students per year will be supported, one by Emory and the other by Georgia Tech, to help further train a diverse group of students. All the trainees will do lab rotations in the first year to select a mentor and co-mentor, one from medicine/biology and the other in engineering/data science, or vice versa, or one from biology/engineering/data science and the other from medicine. This will train and encourage our students to undertake multidisciplinary, collaborative, and translational research. Our trainees will take 1) foundational courses in biosciences, engineering, and data science, 2) integrative biomedical engineering courses, 3) ethics and diversity training, 4) communication and professional development, and 5) the Advanced Seminars in Cardiovascular Biomechanics and Medicine class that include clinical observations. CBT@EmTech will enhance the diversity of the workforce in the cardiovascular biomechanics and disease field and train them to be inclusive leaders. Our trainees from diverse backgrounds are expected to become leaders in addressing unmet translational and clinical needs in cardiovascular biomechanics, pathophysiology, therapies, and diagnostics.

项目摘要/摘要 该T32提案是为了支持跨学科的博士前培训计划，标题为“心血管 埃默里大学和佐治亚理工学院的生物力学和机械生物学培训计划（CBT@emtech）。 CBT@emtech的目标是制定创新的研究生计划，以培训下一代 心血管生物力学，机械生物学，医学成像，心血管领导者 计算建模，医疗设备，治疗发现和交付以及数据科学解决 翻译相关的心血管生物力学，病理生理学，疗法和诊断。该程序 建立在开创性研究的悠久历史上，将生物力学应用于心血管疾病领域 在Emory和Georgia Tech。该计划利用了我们在研究和教育方面的长期成功 Emory和Georgia Tech的心血管生物力学和医学。 CBT@Emtech受训者将 从> 80名符合条件的学生的申请人库中招募，包括妇女和 佐治亚理工学院生物医学工程联合部（BME）的代表性不足 Emory和佐治亚理工学院的跨学科生物工程研究生课程。生物毕业生 学生来自各个家庭部门，包括电气和计算机以及机械工程 在佐治亚理工学院和埃默里（Emory）的数学，计算机科学和化学部门的工作。我们要求 在五年内每年为六名学生提供支持，以在1年内为每个学生提供两年的支持 他们的博士学位课程2。除了T32支持的职位外，每年还将有两个学生 一个由埃默里（Emory）的支持，另一个由佐治亚理工学院（Georgia Tech）支持，以帮助进一步培训潜水员的学生。全部 学员将在第一年进行实验室轮换，以选择一名心理和同事，其中一名来自医学/生物学 另一个工程/数据科学，反之亦然，或一项来自生物学/工程/数据科学的一项 从医学。这将培训并鼓励我们的学生进行多学科，协作和 翻译研究。我们的学员将参加生物科学，工程和数据的基础课程。 科学，2）综合生物医学工程课程，3）道德和多样性培训，4）沟通和 专业发展和5）心血管生物力学和医学课的高级研讨会 其中包括临床观察。 CBT@emtech将增强心血管中劳动力的多样性 生物力学和疾病领域并训练他们成为包容性领导者。我们来自潜水员背景的培训 预计将成为解决心血管中未满足的转化和临床需求的领导者 生物力学，病理生理学，疗法和诊断。
