Info

Trainees acquire in-depth knowledge in the molecular pathogenesis of specific infectious diseases and hands-onexperience with investigative tools and techniques needed for molecular-mechanism-based biomedical researchusing animal models. This includes but is not limited to: immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, confocalmicroscopy, quantitative image analysis, advanced cell culture techniques, flow cytometry, humoral and cellularimmunology, quantitative PCR, and recombinant DNA technology and other molecular biological methodologies.The training provided fulfills the eligibility requirements of several specialty boards including the AmericanCollege of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) and the American College of Lab Animal Medicine (ACLAM). Thesalary range is based on NIH scale currently $35,568 to $51,036 per year. Applicants with one or more years ofprior training preferred.Applicants must be citizens or noncitizen nationals of the United States, or must be lawfully admitted to the U.S.for permanent residence. Successful applicants will be appointed in an appropriate department at Tulane or LSUfor the duration of their training. The TNPRC is located 35 miles north of New Orleans, LA and suffered no longterm effects of Hurricane Katrina.To apply, send a letter indicating your research interests and experience, a curriculum vitae, veterinary schooltranscript and the names of three individuals who may be contacted for references to: Andrew A. Lackner, DVM,PhD., Professor of Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology, Director, Tulane National Primate ResearchCenter, 18703 Three Rivers Road, Covington, LA 70433.Tulane University and Louisiana State University are Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Educators andEmployers. Individuals from under-represented minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.Comparative Medicine and Pathology Training ProgramDirector: Cathy S. Carlson and David R. BrownContact: Cathy S.

This multidisciplinarygraduate program gives students a broad base of biomedical knowledge, high-levelcommunication skills, and advanced research training. Faculty in the CMB program are interested incomparative biomedical sciences and molecular mechanisms underlying human and animal health anddisease, and are drawn from several departments across the Academic Health Center (made up ofcolleges and schools that include the disciplines of veterinary medicine, medicine, dentistry, nursing,pharmacy, and public health) and the College of Agriculture. The 17 faculty mentors in the trainingprogram are members of the CMB graduate program and have active, extramurally-funded researchprograms. Trainees attend and give annual research presentations in a seminar course in Comparativeand Molecular Biosciences (CMB 8850) and attend the Comparative Biosciences seminars (CMB 8570),both of which are held weekly during the academic year. Research rotations in at least two differentlaboratories are required, as is a course in biomedical ethics. Open positions will be advertised in the fallof 2006. Criteria for acceptance into the program include strong academic credentials and performanceduring veterinary school and clinical training/residency (if applicable); a strong interest in research and a160
desire for a career in academic veterinary medicine; and desirable personal characteristics, includingintegrity, perseverance, and communications skills.The University of Missouri Comparative Medicine Program (MU-CMP)Director: Craig Franklin, DVM, PhDContact: Craig Franklin, DVM, PhDPhone: 573-882-6623E-mail: franklinc@missouri.eduWebsite: http://www.radil.missouri.edu/info/cmp/Address: University of Missouri, Columbia, MissouriProgram Description:The University of Missouri Comparative Medicine Program (MU-CMP) provides advanced graduateresearch training to veterinarians who wish to pursue careers in comparative medicine. Both PhD andMS programs are available and trainees may choose from over 50 research mentors whose expertiseranges from infectious disease to biomedical engineering to cancer to biodefense to exercise physiology.This research training can also be coupled with residency training in laboratory animal medicine(recognized by ACLAM). For combined programs, a residency year consists of two rotations:diagnostic and research laboratory animal pathology and clinical medicine and animal resourcemanagement. The remaining two to four years focus on research training. Other highlights of the MU-CMP include exceptional comparative medicine resources (i.e. a large research animal diagnosticlaboratory, one of three mutant mouse regional resource centers, and the only mutant rat and swineresource centers in the country), a large program (12-14 trainees with diverse interests) and alumni base(over 80 graduates), structured coursework that includes grantsmanship training, a medical school,veterinary school, animal science department and life sciences center on the same campus andColumbia, MO if you like Midwest, medium-sized college towns. Externship opportunities are alsoavailable.Training in Comparative Biomedical Sciences at the NIH for Veterinary Students and DVMsDirector: R.
