DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Developmental Genetics Training Program at Tufts New England Medical Center (T-NEMC) and Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM) will provide physicians and predoctoral students with strong training in developmental genetics and the genetics of inherited diseases that can impact fetal, neonatal, and maternal health. The proposed faculty of 25 is drawn from T-NEMC and TUSM, and includes basic and translational researchers who hold M.D., Ph.D., and M.D./Ph.D. degrees. Three postdoctoral trainees will be recruited from the ACGME-accredited fellowship programs in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, and Medical Genetics based at T-NEMC, and three predoctoral trainees will be recruited from the Ph.D. programs in Genetics and Cellular and Molecular Physiology at the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at TUSM each year. Trainees will share a common training experience with rigorous exposure to bench and translational research. The program will promote interaction among pediatricians, medical geneticists, and obstetricians who treat patients and basic scientists who focus on genetic mechanisms of disease, thereby helping each group understand the impact of the other's work. Research training will be complemented by common courses on fundamentals of genetics, developmental genetics, ethics, and a course on the pathobiology of genetic and developmental diseases that is co-taught by basic scientists and physicians. Seminars, presentation workshops, hospital-based genetics rounds, and career counseling round out the program. By integrating basic and clinical faculty, the proposed trainees will acquire a deeper and richer knowledge of basic genetic mechanisms and contemporary clinical problems. The goal is to produce basic science faculty who can be productive in multidisciplinary, translational environments and clinician scientists who will be become independent, funded investigators addressing problems relevant to the health of mothers and children at risk for developmental disability or inherited disorders.

描述(由申请人提供)：塔夫茨新英格兰医学中心(T-NEMC)和塔夫茨大学医学院(TUSM)的发育遗传学培训计划将为医生和博士生预科学生提供发育遗传学和遗传病遗传学方面的强大培训，这些疾病可能会影响胎儿、新生儿和产妇的健康。拟议的25名教职员工来自T-NEMC和TUSM，包括拥有医学博士、博士和医学/博士学位的基础研究人员和翻译研究人员。三名博士后实习生将从经ACGME认证的T-NEMC母胎医学、新生儿-围产期医学和医学遗传学奖学金项目中招募，三名博士后实习生将从TUSM萨克勒生物医学研究生院的遗传学和细胞和分子生理学博士项目中招募。学员将分享共同的培训经验，并严格接触板凳和翻译研究。该计划将促进治疗患者的儿科医生、医学遗传学家和产科医生与专注于疾病遗传机制的基础科学家之间的互动，从而帮助每个群体了解对方工作的影响。研究培训将得到遗传学、发育遗传学、伦理学基础的公共课程的补充，以及由基础科学家和医生共同教授的遗传和发育疾病的病理生物学课程。研讨会、演讲研讨会、以医院为基础的遗传学回合和职业咨询是该项目的补充。通过整合基础和临床教师，拟议的学员将获得更深入和更丰富的基本遗传机制和当代临床问题的知识。其目标是培养在多学科、翻译环境中具有生产力的基础科学教师和临床科学家，他们将成为独立的、资助的研究人员，解决与面临发育障碍或遗传性障碍风险的母亲和儿童的健康相关的问题。
