During this training period, formal courses in the basic fundamentals appropriate to the training program are available through the basic science graduate program and through the NIH funded Clinical Research Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Basic Science Research<\/h3>\n<p>Specific areas of\u00a0basic science research\u00a0include the molecular basis of hormone regulation, the production and analysis of transgenic mice, osteoblast lineage and progression, DNA linkage in heritable disorders of humans or animals, and mutation identification of genes that cause heritable disorders, and gene therapy for certain knowledge of molecular biology and human genetics. This knowledge base will be essential for all biologically-related medical research in the future. A one month rotation in a basic science laboratory is arranged during the second year, when the trainee will have the opportunity to participate hands-on in an already established project or conduct his\/her own small project.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clinical ResearchIn the domain of\u00a0clinical research, there are training experiences available in childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes, in neonatal growth, and in the investigation of the systemic and local regulation of bone metabolism and the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of osteoporosis.
