Biostatistics for Research in Genomics and Cancer

项目摘要 这个为期5年的计划旨在继续培养博士前（博士）的学生在统计 基因组学，主要重点是癌症基因组学。目标是培养生物统计学家， 癌症的生物学、病因学和遗传学，并培训他们进行最先进的 与癌症基因组学相关的生物统计方法学研究以及相关的 基因组学领域。我们的目标是也产生生物统计学家谁可以与其他合作 科学研究人员和肿瘤学家就基因组学和癌症相关的研究问题进行交流。的 典型的博士前实习生将是大学毕业生或硕士水平的毕业生， 适合本培训领域的学术记录。请求提供资金，以支持5个 博士前实习生生物统计学系是世界上最大的系之一， 并拥有高素质的人员和可用的设施， 在这一研究领域进行全面的博士前和博士后培训。若干成员 来自遗传学和生物信息学与计算生物学系（BCB） 该计划将深入参与该培训计划的各个阶段，并将发挥不可或缺的作用。 在这个培训项目中的作用。

Project Summary This 5 year program is designed to continue to train predoctoral (PhD) students in statistical genomics with the major emphasis in cancer genomics. The goal is to train biostatisticians in the biology, etiology, and genetics of cancer, as well as to train them to conduct state-of-the-art biostatistical methodologic research relevant to the genomics of cancer as well as in related areas of genomics. The goal is to also produce biostatisticians who can collaborate with other scientific researchers and oncologists on research issues related to genomics and cancer. The typical predoctoral trainee will be a college graduate or master's level graduate with an excellent academic record appropriate for this training area. Funding is requested for the support of 5 predoctoral trainees. The Department of Biostatistics at UNC is one of the largest in the world, and has highly qualified personnel and the available facilities to provide the most comprehensive predoctoral and postdoctoral training in this research area. Several members from the Department of Genetics and the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) program will be deeply involved in all phases of this training program and will play an integral role in this training program.
