POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN TISSUE ENGINEERING
Supported by an Institutional National Research Science Award from the
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering

The Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative (PTEI) is pleased to
invite applicants for its innovative, NIH-supported, two year
Post-doctoral Fellowship Program in Tissue Engineering (TE). One new
position is available now, to begin in January 2003 or soon
thereafter. Two new positions will be available in the next fiscal
year. The fellow will pursue training in musculoskeletal TE,
encompassing seven focus areas: artificial organs, bioimaging,
biomaterials, bone and muscle, gene therapy, stem cell biology, and
transplantation. PTEI is a unique consortium of major research
institutes and universities in southwestern Pennsylvania, with
linkages to biotechnology companies throughout region. Potential
training sites for fellows encompass all the programs and laboratories
within this network.

The program is unique in that each fellow is assigned a primary and
secondary mentor chosen from the member institutions (2/3 to 3/4 of
the two years in the primary mentor's lab, the rest in the secondary
mentor's lab) and based on correspondence between mentors' expertise
and fellows' prior training and desired focus within TE. Potential
mentors include M.D.s, D.M.Ds, D.D.S.s, Ph.D.s, and individuals with
dual degrees. The fellowship is two years in length, with an optional
third year if the mentors and fellow agree. Fellows also receive
training in the ethics of research, experimental design, and
statistical analysis, and enroll in a basic biotechnology
commercialization and intellectual property course offered by Carnegie
Mellon University. Ad hoc experiences in local biotech startup
companies can also be arranged.
