Genetics and Developmental Biology Training Program

总结 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， 多个斯坦福大学部门提供严格和创新的培训，在遗传学和发展 一系列生命系统中的生物学。我们认为，在遗传学和 发育生物学在2021年及以后尤为紧迫。高通量测序和大规模 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 序列转化为性状仍然是所有领域的一个关键挑战。我们的培训计划直接解决了这个问题 通过遗传学、基因组学和实验生物学的综合训练， 用于测试多种生物体中基因功能的方法。 该方案的主要培训目标是： 1.为学生提供严格的5年制博士学位。在现代遗传学，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.培养学生以道德和负责任的方式进行科学研究。 5.训练学生以书面和口头形式有效地交流研究结果。 6.通过培训科学家来推进基础和应用知识，这些科学家将考虑各种各样的 问题，人口和研究系统在他们的研究。 7.鼓励我们的计划的包容性和多样性，并提供鼓舞人心的成功榜样。 我们通过联合计算和实验训练的创新组合来实现这些目标 营地;联合课程，务虚会，研讨会系列，期刊俱乐部和研究会谈;正式和持续的指导 在道德和严格的实验研究设计;和每月T32具体的“专业技能” 在研究生院的讨论会上。我们优秀的教师和学员有一个特殊的 结合不同学科的技术，并取得重大科学进步， 提高我们对基础生物学、人类健康和疾病的机械理解。

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.
