Project Summary / Abstract This application seeks support for a training program in immuno-engineering at Cornell University. This program supports the training of 4 pre-doctoral students who have begun their thesis research. The goal of this T32 training grant is to provide pre-doctoral students in engineering and immunology broad training in Immuno-engineering, from studying single molecules to whole animals, to improve the lives of patients. The unique aspect of this program is that training opportunities are available that enhance the interactions between engineers and immunologists, with a combination of 17 immunology and engineering faculty will serve as faculty Trainers. They represent a range of expertise including the innate immune response system, adaptive immune system, allergy, asthma, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, response to infectious agents, cell and tissue engineering, polymer chemistry, protein engineering, biomaterials, biocompatibility, drug delivery, molecular design, fluid dynamics, whole animal imaging, micro- nano-fabrication and technologies, and point-of-care technologies. Graduate students in their second year and beyond will be selected from several existing graduate Fields in engineering, for support starting in their third year. Selection will be based upon academic and research promise of the student, the quality and relevance of their thesis work to work in immuno-engineering, and aspirations to conduct independent research in this area. Engineering trainees can obtain a Graduate Minor degree in Immunology, and participate in several activities related to the training theme including: a unique immuno-engineering course, a unique clinical immersion experience, an immuno-engineering Journal Club; the Immunology & Infectious Disease Journal Club; the Seminars in Infection & Immunity and other related to bioengineering and immunology; ethics training; career development activities in collaboration with the Cornell BEST program and Cornell University Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching (CU-CIRTL), and relevant external conferences and courses. Selection of students and monitoring of their ongoing and postgraduate career progress will be overseen by an Executive Committee and Program-assigned mentor, their Special (or thesis) committee, and an External Advisory Board. Coupled with an exceptional tradition of dedication to training academic researchers this program will arm trainees with comprehensive training that will make them exceptionally well qualified to be leaders in the emerging area of immuno-engineering.

项目摘要 /摘要 该申请寻求支持康奈尔大学免疫工程培训计划。这 计划支持对已经开始论文研究的4位博士前学生的培训。目标 这项T32培训赠款是为工程和免疫学广泛的博士前学生提供广泛的博士学位 从研究单分子到全动物的免疫工程培训，以改善 病人的生活。该计划的独特方面是可以使用培训机会来增强 工程师与免疫学家之间的相互作用，结合了17个免疫学和 工程教师将担任教师培训师。它们代表了包括先天的一系列专业知识 免疫反应系统，适应性免疫系统，过敏，哮喘，自身免疫和炎症 疾病，对传染剂的反应，细胞和组织工程，聚合物化学，蛋白质工程， 生物材料，生物相容性，药物递送，分子设计，流体动力学，全动物成像，微型 - 纳米制作和技术，以及护理点技术。第二年的研究生 除了其他几个工程学研究生领域，其他人都将从他们的工程领域中选出 第三年。选择将基于学生的学术和研究承诺，质量和 他们的论文工作与在免疫工程中工作的相关性，以及独立进行独立的愿望 该领域的研究。工程学员可以获得免疫学的较小研究生学位，并且 参加与培训主题有关的几项活动，包括：独特的免疫工程课程， 独特的临床沉浸体验，一个免疫工程期刊俱乐部；免疫学和传染性 疾病期刊俱乐部；感染和免疫的研讨会以及其他与生物工程有关的研讨会和 免疫学；道德培训；与康奈尔最佳计划合作的职业发展活动 康奈尔大学研究，教学（CU-CIRTL）和相关外部的中心 会议和课程。选择学生并监视他们正在进行的研究生职业 进步将由执行委员会和计划分配的导师（或论文）监督 委员会和外部顾问委员会。加上奉献培训的非凡传统 学术研究人员该计划将对受训者进行全面的培训，这将使他们 在免疫工程新兴领域的领导者非常有资格成为领导者。
