摘要 我们的遗传学和发育生物学(GENETICSDEVBIO_T32)培训计划结合了专业知识 斯坦福大学多个系提供严格和创新的遗传学和发育方面的培训 一系列生命系统的生物学。我们相信跨学科的遗传学和 发育生物学在2021年及以后尤为紧迫。高通量测序和海量 对遗传变异的研究正在改变许多生物医学研究。然而，连接DNA 性状的序列在所有领域都是一个关键挑战。我们的培训计划直接解决了这个问题 通过遗传学、基因组学和实验相结合的培训将基因类型映射到表型 在多种生物体中测试基因功能的方法。 该计划的主要培训目标是： 1.为学生提供严格的5年博士培训，掌握现代遗传学、基因组学和 发展研究。 2.培养科学思维的基本技能。 3.培养以严格和可重复的方式管理和分析科学数据所需的技能。 4.培养学生有道德、有担当地开展科学研究。 5.培训学生以书面和口头形式有效地交流调查结果。 6.通过培训科学家来提高基础和应用知识，这些科学家将考虑各种不同的 研究中的问题、人群和研究系统。 7.鼓励我们项目的包容性和多样性，并为成功树立鼓舞人心的榜样。 我们通过联合计算和实验培训的创新组合来实现这些目标 夏令营；联合课程、静修、系列研讨会、杂志俱乐部和研究讲座；正式和持续的指导 在实验研究的道德和严格设计方面；以及每月T32特定的“专业技能” 研究生院的讨论会议。我们优秀的教职员工和实习生拥有非凡的 将不同学科的技术结合起来，并取得重大科学进步的记录 提高我们对基础生物学、人类健康和疾病的机械性理解。

Summary Our Genetics and Developmental Biology (GENETICSDEVBIO_T32) training program combines the expertise of multiple Stanford departments to provide rigorous and innovative training in genetics and developmental biology across a range of living systems. We believe that interdisciplinary training in genetics and developmental biology is particularly urgent in 2021 and beyond. High-throughput sequencing and massive studies of genetic variation are transforming much of biomedical research. However, connecting DNA sequences to traits remains a key challenge in all fields. Our training program directly addresses the problem of mapping genotypes to phenotypes through combined training in genetics, genomics, and experimental methods for testing gene functions in a wide range of organisms. The major training goals of the program are to: 1. Provide students with rigorous 5-year Ph.D. training at the forefront of modern genetics, genomics, and developmental research. 2. Develop fundamental skills in scientific thinking. 3. Develop skills required to manage and analyze scientific data in a rigorous and reproducible manner. 4. Train students to carry out scientific research ethically and responsibly. 5. Train students to effectively communicate findings in written and oral formats. 6. Advance basic and applied knowledge by training scientists who will consider a diverse range of questions, populations, and study systems in their research. 7. Encourage inclusion and diversity in our program and to provide inspiring role models for success. We achieve these goals through an innovative combination of a joint computational and experimental training camp; joint courses, retreats, seminar series, journal clubs, and research talks; formal and ongoing instruction in ethics and rigorous design of experimental research; and monthly T32-specific “professional skills” discussion meetings throughout graduate school. Our outstanding faculty and trainees have an exceptional track record of combining techniques from different disciplines, and making major scientific advances that improve our mechanistic understanding of basic biology and human health and disease.
