Gerald F. Gebhart PhD |
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has funded a new T32 Pre/Postdoctoral Training Program, “Training in Mechanisms and Clinical Presentation of Pain.” Gerald F. Gebhart PhD, Director of the Pittsburgh Center for Pain Research, will direct the new program.
The program aims to recruit and train the best pre- and post-PhD fellows in cutting-edge theory, techniques and research strategies, preparing them to lead the next generation of pain researchers. Thirty one scientists in anesthesiology and related fields such as neurobiology, medicine, otolaryngology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation, have signed on to mentor the trainees.
We also recently announced that our existing postdoctoral research training program “Research Training in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine,” directed by Yan Xu PhD, was funded for a second five-year term. Dr. Xu’s training program will focus on training physician scientists, primarily MDs and MD/PhDs, to prepare for careers in academic anesthesiology. Dr. Gebhart’s training program will focus solely on pain research, and will target 3rd and 4th year pre-doctoral graduate students and PhD postdoctoral fellows.
