DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the applicant's Description) The Developmental Biology Training Program (DBTP) at Duke University has the mission of training predoctoral students in developmental biology and developmental genetics at the highest level. The program provides a broad intellectual landscape and encourages students to learn aspects of developmental biology well beyond the boundaries of their narrow research topics. This new program grew out of two very successful and ongoing training programs at Duke University. The Cell and Molecular Biology Training Program and the Genetics Training Program have been the source of most students who enter Duke University and then find that developmental biology is attractive to them as a research area. Five years ago, with the number of students interested in developmental biology growing, the faculty in the basic sciences began to build the Developmental Biology Training Program. At the core of which is the excellent research environment in the basic sciences of the Medical School and the biological sciences at the College. Eight departments are involved in the Program: the Departments of Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Neurobiology, and Pharmacology. Clinical scientists with a strong focus on basic research are members in the program as well. Through the Developmental Biology Training Program, predoctoral students receive classroom and laboratory training that prepares them for competitive research careers. Statistics indicate that most of previous graduates have remained active in research, and suggest that these trainees have been prepared for productive careers in science. The investigators' goal is to build on this tradition of excellence in training.

描述：(根据申请者的描述改编)杜克大学的发育生物学培训计划(DBTP)的使命是在最高水平上培训博士后学生发育生物学和发育遗传学。该计划提供了一个广阔的智力图景，并鼓励学生学习发育生物学的各个方面，远远超出他们狭隘的研究主题的界限。这个新项目源于杜克大学两个非常成功且正在进行的培训项目。细胞和分子生物学培训计划和遗传学培训计划一直是大多数进入杜克大学的学生的来源，然后他们发现发育生物学作为一个研究领域对他们很有吸引力。五年前，随着对发育生物学感兴趣的学生数量的增加，基础科学系开始建立发育生物学培训计划。其核心是医学院基础科学和学院生物科学的良好研究环境。该计划涉及八个系：细胞生物学、生物化学、生物学、遗传学、免疫学、微生物学、神经生物学和药理学。专注于基础研究的临床科学家也是该计划的成员。通过发育生物学培训计划，博士前学生接受课堂和实验室培训，为他们竞争激烈的研究生涯做好准备。统计数据显示，大多数以前的毕业生仍然活跃在研究领域，并表明这些受训人员已经为在科学领域从事富有成效的职业做好了准备。调查人员的目标是在培训中发扬这一卓越的传统。
