Developmental Funds

发展基金 项目摘要 普渡大学癌症研究中心(PCCR)成立为国家癌症研究所 1978年成立基础科学癌症研究中心。作为NCI的基础科学癌症中心，PCCR的使命集中在 基础发现-通过PCCR培育的创新癌症的基础学科发现 解决办法。PCCR在使用发展资金方面有一个强有力的程序。在上一个项目期间， PCCR利用发展基金进一步加强普渡中心内与癌症相关的科学 对于癌症研究(PCCR)，主要通过支持教师招聘和通过支持 计算与药物化学共享资源(CMC-SR)。通过PCCR领导层的指导， 发展经费和额外经费和空间用于直接支助招聘10名新教员(6 三年级和四年级)进入细胞识别和信号(CIS)以及靶点、结构和药物(TSD)研究 程序。在拟议的项目期内，专责委员会提出以下具体目标： 目标1：招募教员进入PCCR，主要侧重于计算方面的教员 基因组学和生物信息学，以及癌症生物学。重点将放在招聘高级人才上 计算生物学或癌症治疗领域的研究人员，以及 分析化学和生物物理学，重点是癌症。

Developmental Funds Project Summary The Purdue University Center for Cancer Research (PCCR) was established as a National Cancer Institute basic science cancer center in 1978. As a NCI basic science cancer center, the PCCR's mission focuses on basic discovery - discovery through Foundational Disciplines that the PCCR fosters for innovative cancer solutions. The PCCR has a robust process for the use of developmental funds. During the last project period, the PCCR used the developmental funds to further strengthen cancer-related science within the Purdue Center for Cancer Research (PCCR), primarily through support of faculty recruitment and through support of the Computational & Medicinal Chemistry Shared Resource (CMC-SR). Through the direction of PCCR leadership, developmental and additional funds and space were used to directly support recruitment of 10 new faculty (6 junior and 4 senior) into the Cell Identity and Signaling (CIS), and Targets, Structures and Drugs (TSD) Research Programs. In the proposed project period, the PCCR proposes the following specific aim: Aim 1: Recruit faculty members into the PCCR, with a major emphasis on faculty in computational genomics and bioinformatics, and cancer biology. An emphasis will be placed on recruiting senior investigators in the area of computational biology or cancer therapeutics, as well as in the area of analytical chemistry and biophysics, with a cancer focus.
