This abstract is meant to serve as a succinct and accurate description of the proposeWork when separated from the application. DO NOT EXCEEDTHE SPACE PROVIDED. The purpose of this program is to train M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s for careers in neuroendocrinology research. The program focuses on the cellular physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology of neuroendocrine systems, but extends to related areas of endocrine research as well, including growth factors, intracellular signaling mechanisms, neurotransmitter transporter and receptor modulation, and transcriptional regulation. The program is administered through the Vollum Institute, a major research unit of the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU). The Vollum Institute contains approximately 38,000 square feet of fully- equipped laboratory space with adjacent offices, conference rooms, and library. The focus of the institute since its inception has been on molecular endocrinology, reflecting the interests of the original director, Dr. Edward Herbert. The emphasis on endocrinology has extended to the rest of the OHSU campus, so that at the current time most of the major academic units are headed by leaders in the endocrinology field. Consequently, the training program includes faculty from several units on our campus. The training faculty now consists of eighteen Vollum scientists and eleven members of the Medicine, Neurology, Pediatrics, Otolaryngology, basic sciences, and rimate Center programs. The concentration of researchers in Oregon in the field of icuroendocrinology provides a unique environment for trainees.
