Training Program in Developmental and Stem Cell Biology

项目摘要 杜克开发和干细胞生物学（DSCB）项目是一个广泛的跨部门联盟，由 学生和教师追求发展，干细胞和再生生物学研究在分子， 细胞、遗传、进化和系统水平。来自杜克10多个部门的研究人员 大学和杜克医学院参与。DSCB博士课程的使命是培养下一个 一代博士前科学家在发展的原则，干细胞生物学，并通过再生 有针对性的课程，实验室研究，和DSCB社区内的互动。不同的背景， 研究专业知识和我们社区的观点使我们能够丰富和个性化的培训 环境我们的目标是在我们的学生发展：自信，独立的批判性思维，学术严谨， 以及综合新想法并有效沟通的求知欲和创造力。到 为了实现这一目标，我们制定了一个培训计划，其中包括我们20年的长期优势 计划与新的创新，以配合当代培训。这包括修订课程，要求 导师培训，并与杜克新的集中办公室合作，重点是培训生物医学 研究人员和增强多样性。 我们的计划包括教育的核心原则的发展，干细胞生物学和再生，以及 作为遗传学、分子和细胞生物学的基础教育。我们的学生还获得数据培训 科学原则，科学交流，负责任的研究行为，和赠款写作。实现这一点 通过由模块化课程结构、创新实践培训和基于讨论的课程， 课程广泛的实验室培训为每个学生提供所选专业的专业知识， 和概念科学技能。我们的学员在会议上展示他们的研究，并在 期刊，培养他们的科学沟通能力。大学范围内的资源提供宝贵的 专业资源和机会，帮助学生发展他们的全部潜力，追求多样化的 职业生涯，并提供了跟踪我们的学生的进步平台。我们需要导师培训， 也培养学生成为导师。我们的提案寻求10个年度培训职位， 在他们研究生院的第二年和第三年。我们20年的项目已经培养了许多科学家， 从事高影响力的研究相关职业。

Project Summary The Duke Development and Stem Cell Biology (DSCB) Program is a broad, interdepartmental consortium of students and faculty pursuing developmental, stem cell, and regenerative biology research at the molecular, cellular, genetic, evolutionary, and systems levels. Researchers from across over 10 departments at Duke University and Duke School of Medicine participate. The mission of the DSCB PhD program is to train the next generation of predoctoral scientists in principles of development, stem cell biology, and regeneration through targeted coursework, lab research, and interactions within the DSCB community. The diverse backgrounds, research expertise, and perspectives of our community enable us to enrich and personalize the training environment. Our goal is to develop in our students: confidence, independent critical thinking, academic rigor, and the intellectual curiosity and creativity to synthesize new ideas and communicate them effectively. To accomplish this goal, we have devised a training plan which incorporates long-standing strengths of our 20 year program with new innovations to align with contemporary training. This includes a revised curriculum, required mentor training, and partnerships with new centralized offices at Duke focused on training biomedical researchers and enhancing diversity. Our plan incorporates education in core principles of development, stem cell biology and regeneration, as well as foundational education in genetics and molecular and cellular biology. Our students also gain training in data science principles, scientific communication, responsible conduct of research, and grant writing. This is achieved through a curriculum composed of modular course structure, innovative hands-on-training, and discussion based courses. Extensive laboratory training provides each student with expertise in a chosen specialty, and technical and conceptual scientific skillsets. Our trainees present their research at meetings and publish their research in journals, which builds their scientific communication skills. University-wide resources provide valuable professional resources and opportunities to help students develop their full potential to pursue a diversity of careers, and also provides platforms for tracking the progress of our students. We require mentor training and also train our students to be mentors. Our proposal seeks 10 annual training positions which will fund students in their second and third year of graduate school. Our 20 year old program has trained many scientists who have gone onto high-impact, research-related careers.
