Clinical and translational research is critical for the development of improvement in care of pancreatic diseases. Major concerns are the lack of dedicated trainees in pancreatic research and the difficulty for the remaining trainees to develop independent research careers to be included into the pancreas research community. This article describes the efforts of Solvay Pharmaceuticals and American academic leaders working through the National Pancreas Foundation to facilitate the development and expansion of a new generation of pancreas-related clinical and translational researchers through a 3-year fellows symposium.
临床和转化研究对于胰腺疾病治疗的发展至关重要。主要问题是缺乏专门从事胰腺研究的受训者,以及剩余的受训者难以发展独立的研究职业,从而无法融入胰腺研究界。本文介绍了索尔维制药公司(Solvay Pharmaceuticals)和美国学术领袖的努力,他们通过为期 3 年的研究员研讨会,与美国国家胰腺基金会(National Pancreas Foundation)合作,促进新一代与胰腺相关的临床和转化研究人员的发展和壮大。
