Advancing Therapeutic Sciences through Translational Research and Training Programs

The BWF Program promotes innovation in therapeutic sciences, focusing on translational research in pharmacology and toxicology. It unites population and laboratory sciences to address multifactorial disease processes, exploring interactions among hosts, pathogens, and environmental exposures. Our training initiatives encompass gene/environment interactions with biostatistical methods and advanced molecular tools. Key topics include biomarker identification, predictive health, and public health genomics. This comprehensive approach fosters a community of bilingual scientists bridging research and education at the intersection of biology and public health.

  2. BWF Program in 2000 Therapeutic Sciences Program Area • Translational Research • Pharmacology • Toxicology

  3. BWF Program in 2000 2001 Therapeutic Sciences Program Area • Translational Research • Pharmacology • Toxicology

  4. Program Unifying Populationand Laboratory Based Sciences • multifactorial disease processes • evolution of and relationships between host, pathogen, vector, and reservoirs • biomarker identification and validation • effects of environmental exposure to toxins, allergens, and immunogens

  5. Laboratory and Population Sciences Training Program In Gene/Environment Interactions • Biostatistical principles and methods • Biomarkers in population-based research • Molecular genetic tools: genotyping, sequencing, proteomics, etc. • Informatics toward gene / environment interactions

  6. UCLA Inter-school Training Program in Metabolic Diseases • Metabolic Diseases

  7. Human Health: Molecules to Mankind • predictive health • population processes and dynamics • biomarkers and the development of acute and chronic diseases • public health genomics.

  8. Training at Scientific Interfaces • Training “bilingual” scientists • Complications to the curriculum • Logistics

  9. How to ensure that shared trainees get a rigorous education at allmuch less a rigorous education that crosses two fields?

  10. If someone like this came to interview for a faculty position, would they be an exciting candidate for a tenure track job?

  11. Can we begin to build a community around researchers working at this interface? Where are the existing centers of excellence?
