PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Oregon's long-standing predoctoral Developmental Biology Training Program's goal is to train rigorous, skilled, and innovative developmental biologists. Our trainees develop abilities to lead research programs of their own, communicate discoveries to other scientists and the public, and teach future generations of scientists. Our multi-faceted training equips students to become leading academic and non- academic scientists or achieve other influential research-related careers. Individualized research training within one of many active and diverse laboratories is the core of our program. Trainees' thesis research builds upon a continuously innovating curricular foundation. Core graduate-level courses are Molecular Genetics and Developmental Genetics and one of Developmental Neurobiology, Stem Cells & Regeneration, and Genomics Approaches. Additionally, all trainees take Advanced Biological Statistics. We surround research and coursework with a wealth of enhancing and broadening experiences. Examples include first year rotations, required teaching, a dissertation advisory committee, journal clubs, a monthly interest group, annual student research reports, and interactions with visiting speakers. We offer various career development activities especially to support students interested in non-academic careers. A unique highlight is our annual trainee-organized Developmental Biology Training Program symposium, where trainees host leading scientists to share their research on a topic of the students' choosing. We request continued support for seven predoctoral positions within a program that includes 22 highly collaborative, productive, and well-funded labs dedicated to graduate training. We have expanded the reach and vitality of our research and training with six new Assistant Professors, all of whom are top recruits and represent diverse areas of developmental biology research. They join the DBTP's internationally respected senior faculty to position us to maintain our outsized record of innovative research and training. The DBTP unites faculty and trainees from two Departments (Biology or Chemistry & Biochemistry) and four Institutes (Institute of Molecular Biology, Institute of Neuroscience, Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Oregon Institute of Marine Biology). Trainees are exposed to research across Institutes due to a rich tradition of collaboration, common training activities, the close proximity of most labs, and outstanding core facilities. As such, our program fosters interdisciplinary training that bridges genetics, genomics, molecular biology, cell biology, computational biology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. This breadth complements the focused project- oriented training students receive in their thesis labs, producing creative and confident scientists empowered to direct impactful research programs or assume other science leadership roles.

项目摘要 俄勒冈州的长期博士前发育生物学培训计划的目标是 培养严谨、熟练和创新的发育生物学家。我们的学员培养领导研究的能力 他们自己的程序，交流发现，以其他科学家和公众，并教导未来 几代科学家。我们的多方面的培训使学生成为领先的学术和非 学术科学家或实现其他有影响力的研究相关的职业。 在许多活跃和多样化的实验室之一进行个性化的研究培训是我们计划的核心。 学员的论文研究建立在不断创新的课程基础之上。核心研究生一级 课程有分子遗传学和发育遗传学以及发育神经生物学之一，干细胞 细胞与再生，基因组学方法。此外，所有学员都要参加高级生物学 统计我们围绕研究和课程，丰富的增强和拓宽经验。 例子包括第一年的轮换，必要的教学，论文咨询委员会，期刊俱乐部， 每月兴趣小组，年度学生研究报告，并与来访的演讲者互动。我们提供 各种职业发展活动，特别是支持对非学术职业感兴趣的学生。一 独特的亮点是我们的年度受训者组织的发育生物学培训计划研讨会， 学员们邀请顶尖的科学家分享他们对学生选择的主题的研究。 我们要求在一个包括22个高度专业的项目中继续支持7个博士前职位。 协作，生产力和资金充足的实验室致力于研究生培训。我们已经扩大了 我们的研究和培训的活力与六个新的助理教授，他们都是顶级招聘， 代表了发育生物学研究的不同领域。他们加入了DBTP的国际知名的 高级教师定位我们保持我们的创新研究和培训的超大记录。DBTP 联合来自两个部门（生物或化学和生物化学）和四个研究所的教师和学员 （分子生物学研究所，神经科学研究所，生态与进化研究所，俄勒冈州研究所， 海洋生物学）。由于有着丰富的合作传统， 共同的培训活动，靠近大多数实验室，以及出色的核心设施。所以我们的 计划促进跨学科的培训，桥梁遗传学，基因组学，分子生物学，细胞生物学， 计算生物学、神经科学和进化生物学。这种广度补充了重点项目- 定向培训的学生在他们的论文实验室接受，生产创造性和自信的科学家授权， 指导有影响力的研究项目或承担其他科学领导角色。
