Renewal of a multidisciplinary training program at UCLA for postdoctoral trainees in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, supporting research and career development in related diseases.
Description
This is the renewal application for a multidisciplinary training program in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) at the David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) at UCLA. The program will continue to provide training in basic science and clinical research relevant to the study of PCCM-related diseases. The program proposes to support six postdoctoral trainees (MDs, PhDs, and MD/PhDs) for a two-year experience in a highly structured environment under faculty mentorship. The research themes include Infection/Inflammation/Transplantation/Fibroproliferation, Lung Carcinogenesis, Health Services Research and Prevention, Biomedical Informatics, Systems Biology and Data Science, and Vascular Biology and Rare Diseases. Faculty mentors are from multiple departments at UCLA, with extensive research experience. The program aims to develop new investigators with careers in academia or industry.
