项目摘要

Abstract The next generation of immunologists and microbiologists need to understand the complex challenges that infectious disease researchers in the 21st century will face, including the emergence of new infectious diseases, increase in multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria and viruses and escalation of global public health problems that cross geographical boundaries. To foster inter-departmental participation in graduate education, the current PhD programs have been reorganized into a Multidisciplinary PhD Program in Biomedical Science composed of three interdisciplinary "tracks", which emphasize areas of research strength and funding on the NJMS campus. Pertinent to the current application is Track 3 titled Infection, Immunity and Inflammation (I3). The objective of this training grant is to train a cadre of pre-doctoral students in a unique Integrated Education Program, where they will receive a sound training in cutting-edge laboratory-based research (Immunology, Inflammation, Immunity and Molecular Microbiology) that is integrated with clinical and translational science. New Jersey Medical School (NJMS) together with the Graduate School of Biomedical Science (GSBS) is in a unique position to establish such an integrated program since the School has a strong history of infectious disease research and clinical care, and an excellent record of mentored training in Microbiology, Immunology and Immunity. The Basic and Clinical infectious Disease Faculty has strong research funding and access to outstanding basic research and clinical facilities. Following the merger in 2013 of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Rutgers Biomedical Health Sciences was created. The new RBHS chancellor has made significant commitment to infectious disease research. Faculty on the training grant have recently received there large multi-million dollar grants-TBRU, CETR and ICIDR. Batish, one of our graduate students received a National Institutes of Health Director's Early Independence Award. Velaquez, a student from the first year of the I3 track is ready to graduate with two published papers and two manuscripts in preparation and was awarded two very competitive research fellowships during her thesis work. This proves that our Faculty mentors and students are capable of high- level achievements. NJMS is committed to education of under-represented minorities and has established the Hispanic Center of Excellence. The school has committed substantial resources to the program, including 10% of the PI's base salary. In sum, the goals of the grant are-i) to recruit pre-doctoral trainees committed to careers in infectious diseases; ii) to provide a strong training in basic science research related to molecular microbiology, immunology, inflammation and immunity; iii) to enhance basic research training with exposure to clinical and translation infectious diseases through specifically designed courses; iv) to enhance interaction of basic and clinical faculty to enrich the education experience of the trainee. Together, the integrated program will enable trainees to come up with creative solutions to combat the war against infectious diseases.

抽象的下一代免疫学家和微生物学家需要了解复杂的挑战传染病研究人员在21世纪将面临，包括新传染病的出现疾病、多重耐药细菌和病毒菌株的增加以及全球公共卫生的升级跨越地理界限的问题。为了促进研究生教育的跨部门参与，目前的博士课程已重组为生物医学科学多学科博士课程由三个跨学科“轨道”组成，强调研究实力和资助领域新泽西MS校园。与当前应用相关的是标题为“感染、免疫和炎症”(I3) 的 Track 3。该培训补助金的目的是在独特的综合教育中培养一批博士前学生计划，他们将接受尖端实验室研究（免疫学、炎症、免疫和分子微生物学）与临床和转化科学相结合。新泽西医学院 (NJMS) 与生物医学研究生院 (GSBS) 合作由于学校在传染病方面有着悠久的历史，因此建立这样一个综合项目具有独特的地位疾病研究和临床护理，以及微生物学、免疫学指导培训的出色记录和免疫力。基础和临床传染病学院拥有雄厚的研究经费和机会基础研究和临床设施优良。 2013 年罗格斯大学合并后，州立大学新泽西州、前新泽西医学和牙科大学、罗格斯生物医学健康学院科学被创造了。新任RBHS校长对传染病做出了重大承诺研究。接受培训补助金的教师最近收到了数百万美元的巨额补助金-TBRU， CETR 和 ICIDR。 Batish，我们的一名研究生获得了美国国立卫生研究院院长早期奖独立奖。 Velaquez 是 I3 课程一年级的学生，准备以两个成绩毕业发表了论文和两份正在准备的手稿，并获得了两项非常有竞争力的研究奖在她的论文工作期间获得奖学金。这证明我们的导师和学生有能力高级成就。 NJMS 致力于为代表性不足的少数群体提供教育，并建立了西班牙裔卓越中心。学校为该计划投入了大量资源，包括 PI 基本工资的 10%。总之，该补助金的目标是 -i) 招募致力于以下方面的博士前培训生传染病领域的职业； ii) 提供与分子相关的基础科学研究方面的强有力的培训微生物学、免疫学、炎症和免疫； iii) 加强基础研究培训，接触通过专门设计的课程进行临床和翻译传染病； iv) 加强互动基础和临床师资，丰富学员的教育经验。一起，综合计划将使学员能够提出创造性的解决方案来对抗传染病。
