Research Training on Intracellular Pathogens

描述（由申请人提供）：这项研究培训计划将在国际合作的背景下进行，旨在为研究生学位课程的国际学员，博士后和印度的教师研究人员提供培训，主要是在新德里的贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁大学（JNU）。该计划旨在提供培训，促进JNU和SBRI/UW研究人员之间的合作，并为JNU及其互动的印度研究机构，特别是新德里的国际遗传工程和生物技术中心（ICGEB）提供研究加强。该培训计划将与全球重要传染病研究项目一起进行，这些项目对印度至关重要。培训将强调细胞内病原体的研究培训，重点是利什曼原虫，疟原虫和分枝杆菌。选择这些重点是因为利什曼病（特别是内脏疾病），疟疾和结核病在印度的问题由于各种原因正在恶化，并且由于利什曼病和结核病的机会，使免疫功能低下的患者处于危险之中。培训将强调实验室实验和生物信息学的结合，并将建立在JNU SBRI/UW研究合作的基础上，并刺激新的研究合作的发展。培训将包括过去非常成功的关于隔年的国内讲习班。这些将包括实验室和教学培训，并为选择学员在西雅图进行研究培训提供部分依据。总部设在西雅图的培训将提供研究生学位课程的研究要求的一部分，为谁是在JNU或在华盛顿大学的研究生学位课程注册的学生学员。培训也将在西雅图提供印度博士后参与国际合作和短期工作访问的合作JNU教师。培训还将为来自各种国际培训项目（特别是FIC支持的）的学员提供互动机会，并包括这些项目共同的重要领域的培训，如监管和道德方面。印度的伙伴机构将是JNU，以促进更多的研究合作，并利用其与印度其他主要研究机构，如遗传工程中心的工作联系。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research-training program will be conducted in the context of international collaborations and is designed to provide training for international trainees who are in graduate degree programs, for postdoctorates and for faculty researchers in India, primarily at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi. The program is designed to provide training, stimulate collaboration between JNU and SBRI/UW researchers, and provide research strengthening for JNU and its interacting Indian research institutions, particularly the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in New Delhi. The training program will be conducted in association with research projects on infectious diseases of global importance and which are of critical importance to India. The training will emphasize research training on intracelluar pathogens with a focus on the Leishmania, Plasmodium, and Mycobacterium. These emphases have been chosen because of the problems of leishmaniasis (especially visceral disease), malaria, and tuberculosis in India are worsening for a variety of reasons and since Leishmania and TB are opportunists, putting immunocompromised patients at risk. Training will highlight the combination of laboratory experimentation and bioinformatics and will build on established JNU SBRI/UW research collaborations and stimulate the development of new ones. The training will include in-country workshops on alternate years that have been so successful in the past. These will include laboratory and didactic training and provide a part of the basis for selecting trainees for a research training experience in Seattle. Seattle-based training will provide for a portion of graduate degree program research requirements for student trainees who are enrolled in graduate degree programs at JNU or at the UW. Training will also be available in Seattle for Indian postdoctorals participating in international collaborations and for short working visits of collaborating JNU faculty. The training will also provide opportunities for interactions among trainees from various international training programs (especially FIC supported) and include training in areas of importance that is common to these programs such as regulatory and ethical aspects. The Indian partner institution will be JNU to stimulate additional research collaborations and to take advantage of its working linkages with other key Indian research institutions such as ICGEB.
