Historically, admissions committees for biomedical Ph.D. programs have heavily weighed GRE scores when considering applications admission. The predictive validity of on graduate student success is unclear, and there been no recent investigations specifically the relationship between general in research. Data from Vanderbilt University Medical School's umbrella program were used to test what extent can predict outcomes school training controlling other information. Overall, did not prove...
Background and Purpose Glutamate, a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, has been implicated hyperemic response to increases activity of neurons, but mechanism glutamate-induced dilation cerebral blood vessels is unknown. Glutamate shown enhance release arachidonic acid (AA) brain tissue cultured astrocytes. We have previously that astrocytes metabolize AA vasodilator products, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), express P-450 epoxygenase, 2C11. tested hypothesis arterioles mediated...
PhD-trained scientists are essential contributors to the workforce in diverse employment sectors that include academia, industry, government, and nonprofit organizations. Hence, best practices for training future biomedical of national concern. Complementing coursework laboratory research training, many institutions now offer professional enables career exploration develops a broad set skills critical various paths. The National Institutes Health (NIH) funded academic design innovative...
Converging data suggest a dysfunction of prefrontal cortical GABAergic interneurons in schizophrenia. Morphological and physiological studies indicate that GABA cells are modulated by variety afferents. The peptide transmitter neurotensin may be one such modulator interneurons. In the rat cortex (PFC), is exclusively localized to dopamine axons has been suggested decreased However, effects on poorly understood. We used vivo microdialysis freely moving rats assess whether regulates PFC...
Biomedical sciences PhDs pursue a wide range of careers inside and outside academia. However, there is little data regarding how career interests PhD students relate to the decision postdoctoral training or their eventual outcomes. Here, we present goals outcomes 1452 biomedical who graduated from Vanderbilt University between 1997 2021. We categorized using an expanded three-tiered taxonomy flags that delineate key milestones. also analyzed goal changes matriculation doctoral defense,...
Many biomedical PhD trainees lack exposure to business principles, which limits their competitiveness and effectiveness in academic industry careers. To fill this training gap, we developed Business Management Principles for Scientists, a semester-long program that combined didactic fundamentals with practical team-based projects aimed at solving real problems encountered by institutional shared--resource core facilities. The also included retreat featuring presentations networking local...

Abstract In the United States, credentialing of PhD-scientists as medical directors clinical laboratories is driven by formal postdoctoral training programs. Prior to acceptance in one these accredited fellowships, however, a trainee’s exposure field can be far less standardized, with significant ramifications for their awareness and competitiveness. current article, we describe our recent experiences developing local, institution-based immersion opportunities PhD subdisciplines laboratory...
ABSTRACT In the past year, there has been an exciting groundswell of national efforts to integrate multiple taxonomies for transparent dissemination and analysis PhD career outcomes. this study, we leveraged unique resources Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training Consortium examine reliability three-tiered Unified Career Outcomes Taxonomy (UCOT v.2017) that was collaboratively developed at a meeting convened by Rescuing Biomedical Research August 2017. Using amended version UCOT...
