Descrizione
The purpose of this training program is to nurture the next generation of leaders in diabetes,
metabolism, and endocrinology research by providing post-doctoral candidates of
exceptional promise with the opportunity to train for successful careers in academic
endocrinology. The program is limited to post-doctoral applicants who hold MD and/or PhD
degrees and have demonstrated a strong interest in or prior exposure to biomedical
research. Key program features include intensive research in the laboratory and programs
of participating faculty members and broad didactic exposure to basic science,
translational and clinical investigation. Research areas span a wide range of endocrine
disciplines, including diabetes, energy homeostasis and weight control, lipid and
lipoprotein metabolism, neuroendocrinology, metabolic bone diseases, genetic foundation
of endocrine diseases, and enteroendocrine cell pathophysiology. Scientific methods
employed by the faculty span the gamut from early discovery using model organisms,
biochemical, biophysical, and systems biology approaches, clinical hypothesis-testing,
early validation of new treatment modalities, clinical trials, and public health outcomes of
commonly employed standards of care. By virtue of the breadth of expertise of the
participating faculty, trainees can select research questions that leverage their own interest
and enthusiasm to best suit their career goals. Training faculty and facilities are
predominantly in the Division of Endocrinology of the Department of Medicine at the
Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University. However, the program is
distinguished by its broad reach into di..erent areas of medical practice, as well as
scientific homes in Departments of Genetics, Physiology and Cellular Biophysics,
Pathology and Cell Biology, and Pharmacology. Trainees are selected from a competitive
applicant pool after thorough vetting of their credentials by the Recruitment and
Admissions Committee. Applicants admitted to the program are carefully mentored by
Research and Mentorship as well as Career Development Committees, which form the
basis of individual trainee committees. Post-training, the proposed training program
provides continued mentoring and advice on the transition to faculty positions to foster
independent academic careers in diabetes, metabolism, and endocrinology.
