“The USAISR-Pittsburgh ARM IV Undergraduate and Postdoctoral Fellowship Training Program”
Background: The US Army Institute of Surgical Research (ISR) has ongoing interest and research programs in the application of biomedical science to the treatment of traumatic injury, especially injuries suffered by soldiers in combat. The Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative (PTEI) shares this interest and focuses on bringing the promise of regenerative medicine to the treatment of our injured warriors with the goal to more fully restore function after traumatic injury. With ARM as the host organization, the ISR and PTEI have jointly developed training opportunities for undergraduate and post-doctoral researchers who train at the ISR and participate in mission driven research in the application of regenerative medicine to combat casualty care. The ISR-based ARM training program reveals a formal, inter-disciplinary, inter-agency structure with the purpose to contribute to the development of a long-term pipeline of trained RM research professionals with emphasis on participation in research that will transition rapidly into relevant therapies and technologies to address battlefield trauma issues and, ultimately, which will result in improved functional outcomes in soldiers.
The 2011 ARM training program provided some support for the participation of three postdoctoral fellows who worked in collaboration with military and civilian researchers and clinicians to restore function to damaged tissues and organs and to replace tissue lost from severe trauma wounds by:
• Regenerative Medicine Approach for Digit Reconstruction
• Long-Term Acceptance of Allografts Induced by Thymic Cell Transplant in the Lymph Node
• Toward 3D Synthetic Vascular Networks through Mutable Responsive Polymers and Micromachining
