项目摘要

Project Summary The Northwestern Postgraduate Training Program in Cutaneous Biology (NPTCB) seeks to train highly motivated postdoctoral fellows for an academic career focused on cutaneous biology. The NPTCB provides an integrated curriculum designed to: 1) educate trainees in critical thinking, writing/presentation skills, the peer-review pro- cess, and the responsible conduct of research; and 2) provide stage-appropriate mentorship to ensure profes- sional development. These aims are achieved through frequent reviews with the Primary Mentor and Mentorship Committees as well as participation in formal didactics and seminars. Our Primary Mentors come from an inter- disciplinary cohort of internationally recognized scientists (and mentors-in-training) focused on cutaneous biol- ogy. These scientific leaders, who will serve as the primary mentors for our trainees, have appointments not only in the Department of Dermatology, but also in other elite departments in the university (among them Medicine, Microbiology/Immunology, Biomedical Engineering, and Chemistry). Their research spans one or more of the five areas of research concentration highlighted in this renewal application: 1) Biomedical Engineering and Aug- mented Intelligence, 2) Nanotechnology, 3) Genomics/Epigenomics, 4) Skin Immunology, and 5) Cell and De- velopmental Biology of the Skin. In addition, our trainees have a mentorship committee that includes a Resource Faculty member (an internationally recognized scientist with recognized mentoring skills) and a member of the NUPTCB Career Development and Retention Committee. The “in lab training” will be supplemented by a formal program of educational enrichment activities. This includes didactic coursework and a wide variety of seminars that dovetail with the areas of research focus, e.g., the “Bench to Bedside” lecture series, journal clubs, and “Research in Progress” meetings. We also have a unique “Road to Translational Research” mentoring team, which enables all trainees to become familiar with the process of moving forward in translational research. The grant is administered by four, highly collaborative committees. These include the Executive Committee (which oversees the training program), a prestigious Internal Advisory Committee (who work with formal evaluation programs to provide feedback to improve the program), the Career Development and Retention Committee (dedicated to mentoring trainees through the transition to junior faculty), and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (whose mission is to ensure we have a diverse and equitable applicant pool and trainee selection process). Our trainees comprise an outstanding cohort of MD, MD/PhD, and PhD scientists who are passionate about cutaneous biology. As a measure of our success, the Northwestern University Postgraduate Training Pro- gram in Cutaneous Biology (NUPTCB) has trained 13 postdoctoral fellows during the last 11 years, of whom 11 remain in academics (6 as faculty). In summary, we have the applicant pool, the leadership, advisory committees, faculty mentors, and infrastructure to train future leaders in the field of dermatology and skin biology/engineering. These factors make Northwestern University an ideal site for this Training Program in Cutaneous Biology.

项目摘要皮肤生物学（NPTCB）的西北大学研究生培训计划旨在培训高度积极进取博士后研究员的学术生涯专注于皮肤生物学。 NPTCB提供了一个集成的旨在以下课程：1）教育受训者有关批判性思维，写作/演示技巧的教育，同行评审专业 CESS和负责任的研究行为； 2）提供适合阶段的精神制，以确保专业建立发展。这些目标是通过经常与主要导师和指导的评论来实现的委员会以及正式教学和下水道的参与。我们的主要导师来自国际认可的科学家（以及培训指导者）的纪律人群着重于皮肤生物 OGY。这些科学领导者将担任我们培训的主要导师，不仅有任命在皮肤病学系，以及大学其他精英系（其中包括医学，微生物学/免疫学，生物医学工程和化学）。他们的研究跨越一个或多个在此续签应用中强调了五个研究集中的领域：1）生物医学工程和8月智力，2）纳米技术，3）基因组学/表观基因组学，4）皮肤免疫学，以及5）细胞和de- 皮肤的速度生物学。此外，我们的学员还有一个心态委员会，其中包括一个资源教职员工（具有公认的指导技能的国际认可的科学家）和 NUPTCB职业发展和保留委员会。 “实验室培训”将由前一个教育丰富活动计划。这包括教学课程和各种各样的半手与研究重点的领域相吻合，例如“长凳与床头”讲座系列，期刊俱乐部和 “正在进行的研究”会议。我们也有一个独特的“转化研究之路”心理团队，这使所有受训者都能熟悉转化研究中的前进过程。这格兰特由四个高度协作委员会管理。这些包括执行委员会（这监督培训计划），一个著名的内部咨询委员会（与正式评估一起工作提供反馈以改善计划的计划），职业发展和保留委员会（通过过渡到初级教职员工，致力于心理学员）以及多样性，公平和包容性委员会（其任务是确保我们有潜水员和公平的申请人池和培训生的选择过程）。我们的学员组成了热情洋溢的医学博士，医学博士/博士学位和博士学位科学家关于皮肤生物学。为了衡量我们的成功，西北大学研究生培训培训在过去的11年中，皮肤生物学（NUPTCB）的克（NUPTCB）培训了13个博士后研究员，其中11年有11年留在学术界（6个教师）。总而言之，我们有适用的游泳池，领导层，咨询委员会，教师导师和基础设施，以培训皮肤病学和皮肤生物学/工程领域的未来领导者。这些因素使西北大学成为皮肤生物学培训计划的理想场所。
