| The
Hepatology Research Training Program at the Albert Einstein College of
Medicine is designed to provide training in investigative hepatology to
candidates interested in academic careers. The program is for a minimum
of two years and stresses pathobiology of liver disease. All training activities
are interdisciplinary and involve established investigators in the Department
of Medicine, Molecular Pharmacology, Biophysics and Physiology, Biochemistry,
Cell Biology, Neurosciences, and Anatomy and Structural Biology. These
investigators share common research goals, but may have diverse conceptual
and methodologic approaches. This leads to a great deal of innovative,
exciting, interactive research. This Training Program is integrated fully
with activities of the Einstein Liver Research Center and with a Liver Cell Membrane Protein Program Project. There are 30 major
investigators in the Liver Research Center, and they encompass a wide diversity
of backgrounds, areas of expertise, interests and specific research projects.Liver
Center investigators also serve as preceptors in the training program. The educational and collaborative programs of
the Liver Research Center provide an ongoing structure for training future
academicians in pathobiology of liver disease. Trainees have abundant opportunity
to learn from outstanding authorities in their fields. Furthermore, basic
scientists share disease-related interests and actively participate in
all scientific activities. Individuals accepted into
this Training Program must have an M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree. Candidates
with an M.D. degree must have completed training in internal medicine,
gastroenterology/hepatology, pediatrics, or pathology. All candidates must
have a strong interest in relating basic science to liver pathobiology
and must have a sincere interest in developing an investigative career
in academic medicine. For more information, interested individuals should
