This proposal is a revision of a Physician Scientist Award. The objective of the program is to provide the applicant with a structured educational experience in molecular biology that will train her for independent career in academic medicine. Her developing knowledge and laboratory experience will be applied to the isolation and characterization of the Gorlin syndrome gene, a probable tumor suppressor that is important in normal embryogenesis and development. Her sponsor, Dr. Allen Bale, is an Assistant Professor in the department of Genetics with a long standing interest in cancer predisposition syndromes and the role of cancer related genes in development. The program has been divided into two phases according to the guidelines for the K11 award program and will be completed over a period of five years. The didactic program of Phase I will include laboratory meetings, lectures in the Department of Genetics, and formal course work on statistical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular biology of eukaryotic cells, developmental biology, and advance topics in molecular genetics. Her research during this phase will include screening a chromosome 9 microdissected library for new STRs mapping to the Gorlin syndrome region, tumor deletion mapping with the new probes, and construction of a YAC contig of the region. The transition from Phase I to Phase II will consist of an oral exam and formal presentation of research progress to the advisory committee. During Phase II the great bulk of the applicant's time will be spent in the laboratory, and emphasis will be placed on developing self confidence and independence in the use of sophisticated scientific methodology. She will continue to construct a YAC contig and isolate candidate cDNAs from the contig, as well as isolated expressed sequences from the microdissected library. Ultimately she will test the candidate genes by analyzing their expression in tumor and normal tissue and searching for mutations in Gorlin syndrome patients.

这一提议是对医师科学家奖的修订。 的 该计划的目标是为申请人提供一个结构化的 分子生物学的教育经验，将培养她 在学术医学中的独立职业。 她不断发展的知识和 实验室经验将应用于隔离， Gorlin综合征基因的特征，一种可能的肿瘤抑制基因 这对正常的胚胎发生和发育很重要。 她的担保人， 博士艾伦贝尔是遗传学系的助理教授 长期以来，他一直对癌症易感综合征和 癌症相关基因在发育中的作用 根据指导方针，该计划分为两个阶段 K11奖励计划，并将在五年内完成 年 第一阶段的教学计划将包括实验室会议， 在遗传学系的讲座，和正式的课程工作， 统计遗传学，细胞遗传学，真核生物分子生物学 细胞、发育生物学和分子遗传学前沿课题。 她在这一阶段的研究将包括筛选9号染色体 用于定位到Gorlin综合征的新STR的显微切割文库 区域，用新探针进行肿瘤缺失作图，以及构建 该区域的YAC重叠群。 从第一阶段到第二阶段的过渡将 包括口头考试和研究进展的正式报告， 咨询委员会。 在第二阶段，申请人的大部分时间将花在 实验室，重点将放在发展自信心 和独立使用复杂的科学方法。 她 将继续构建YAC重叠群，并分离来自 重叠群，以及来自 显微解剖文库 最终，她将测试候选基因， 分析它们在肿瘤和正常组织中的表达， Gorlin综合征患者中的突变。
