Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Computational Medicine

项目摘要 我们将创建约翰霍普金斯大学“计算医学博士前培训计划”， 生物信息学和计算生物学的研究领域。参与部门为生物医学 工程和应用数学与统计学。我们每年申请6个博士前培训名额。我们 学员将学习如何：开发健康和疾病的生物系统模型;约束这些模型 使用从患者收集的数据;应用模型来提供改进的诊断和治疗。他们将学习 这是通过集中的课程工作的结合，并在计划的实验室论文研究 教师。他们将获得口头报告，赠款写作和教学的经验。他们将负责 开展超越当前产品的研究培训，以满足计算医学的需求 研究人员他们将成为学生和教师社区的一部分。我们将实施新颖的方案， 通过建立一个由做过大量研究的本科生组成的申请人库来增加培训的多样性 与我们的项目教师轮换。毕业生将做好充分的准备，并寻求填补日益增长的需求， 在工业界和学术界接受计算医学培训的研究人员。对我们项目的支持将 有助于实现精准医疗的目标。

Project Summary We will create the Johns Hopkins University “Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Computational Medicine”, in the research area of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The participating departments are Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics & Statistics. We are requesting 6 pre-doctoral training slots per year. Our trainees will learn how to: develop models of biological systems in health and disease; constrain these models using data collected from patients; apply models to deliver improved diagnoses and therapies. They will learn this through a combination of focused course work, and dissertation research in the laboratories of program faculty. They will gain experience with oral presentation, grant writing and teaching. They will receive responsible conduct of research training that goes beyond current offerings to meet the needs of computational medicine researchers. They will be part of a community of students and faculty. We will put in place novel programs that increase diversity in training by creating an applicant pool of undergraduates who have done substantial research rotations with our program faculty. Graduates will be well prepared and sought after to fill the growing need for researchers trained in computational medicine in both industry and academia. Support of our program will contribute to achieving the goal of precision medicine.
