IMMUNOLOGY AND IMMUNUNOOCOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAM

产品说明：项目特点：该计划的持续目标是为希望从事免疫学和免疫肿瘤学独立研究者职业的高级学生提供高质量的博士前和博士后培训。 该计划的重点放在遗传，分子，细胞生物学和结构方法来解决免疫学和免疫肿瘤学问题。 博士预科课程在苏戈尔丁研究生院的指导方针内运作。 研究生院和培训计划提供了一个集中的招生过程，基础课程的核心，然后是免疫学相关领域的专业课程，辅以研讨会和期刊俱乐部，特殊的工作进展会议，实验室会议和校外研讨会，导师和教师顾问委员会对学生的密切监督，以及实验室的密集工作。博士预科生必须被研究生院接受，并符合博士学位的要求。在他们被提名参加培训计划之前，他们必须在各自的部门获得学位。 寻求培训支持的培训师向项目指导委员会提交简历和学术记录。 申请博士后者，应检附履历、成绩单、参考书目、研究计画说明及推荐函。 这些资料在指导委员会成员中分发，指导委员会随后开会审查、讨论和表决申请人。 考虑候选人和拟议培训员的资格，特别是实验室的规模和现有的研究支助。政策和程序的课程和资格考试的博士。 学位由研究生院和参与部门定义。 学生们使用一系列的实验室轮换来确定他们打算与之合作的培训师。“医学科学家培训方案替代途径”的申请人也有资格获得培训补助金的支助。 这些学生在医学院学习一年或两年后进入MSTP课程，而不是直接入学。 MSTP课程自上次竞争性更新以来已经修订，以更有效地交叉研究生和医学课程。博士后培训生可以持有医学博士学位， 博士，或两个等级。许多申请阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院（AECOM）临床培训课程的医生都会与该培训课程的教师导师进行面试。在招聘时，在每个临床奖学金的第一年，实习生的研究偏好是由项目总监，部门负责人和实习生确定和探索。 有些人有机会进入基础科学实验室的多年研究培训计划。咨询委员会采用传统标准每六个月评估一次进展情况。 预计研究员将在实验室工作至少两年。 博士后研究员与博士。学位申请和选择实验室导师在个人的基础上。他们的进展也由咨询委员会审查，他们参加所有培训计划的介绍和研讨会。 医学博士之间的相互作用，MSTP和博士 学员受到项目组织性质的鼓励，即联合研讨会、正在进行的工作会议、期刊俱乐部和类似活动。

DESCRIPTION: Program Characteristics: The ongoing goal of this program is to provide pre- and postdoctoral training of high quality for advanced students who wish to pursue careers as independent investigators in immunology and immunooncology. Emphasis in the program is placed on genetic, molecular, cell biological, and structural approaches to the solution of immunologic and immunooncologic problems. The predoctoral program operates within the guidelines of the Sue Golding Graduate School. The graduate school and training program provide a centralized admissions process, a core of basic courses followed by specialized courses in immunologically relevant areas supplemented with seminars and journal clubs, special work-in- progress sessions, laboratory meetings and extramural seminars, close supervision of students by the mentors and faculty advisor committees, and intensive work in the laboratory. Predoctoral trainees must be accepted by the graduate school and meet the requirements for the Ph.D. degree within their respective departments before they are nominated for positions in the training program. Trainers seeking support for a trainee submit a Curriculum Vitae and academic record to the Program Steering Committee. For postdoctoral trainees, a Curriculum Vitae, academic transcript, bibliography, description of the research project, and letters of recommendation must be submitted. This information is circulated among the members of the Steering Committee, which subsequently meets to review, discuss, and vote on the applicants. Consideration is given to the qualifications of the candidate as well as the proposed trainer, especially with respect to the size of the laboratory and available research support. Policies and procedures for coursework and qualifying examinations for the Ph.D. degree are defined by the graduate school and the participating departments. A series of laboratory rotations are used by the students to identify trainers with whom they propose to work. Applicants to the "Alternate Pathway of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP)" are also eligible for support from the training grant. These students enter the MSTP program after one or two years of medical school rather than by direct admission. The MSTP curriculum has been revised since the last competitive renewal to interdigitate more efficiently the graduate and medical courses. Postdoctoral trainees may hold either the M.D., the Ph.D., or both degrees. Many physicians applying for the clinical training program at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) interview with faculty mentors of this training program. At the time of recruitment and during the first year of each clinical fellowship, trainee research preferences are identified and explored by the Program Director, Division Heads, and trainees. Some are offered an opportunity to enter a multi-year program of research training in a basic science laboratory. Progress is assessed at six-month intervals by an Advisory Committee using traditional criteria. The fellows are expected to spend a minimum of two years in the laboratory. Postdoctoral fellows with the Ph.D. degree apply to and select laboratory mentors on an individual basis. Their progress is also reviewed by an Advisory Committee, and they participate in all training program presentations and seminars. Interaction among M.D., MSTP, and Ph.D. trainees is encouraged by the nature of the program organization, i.e. joint seminars, work-in-progress sessions, journal clubs, and like activities.
