DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the Integrated Biological Systems Training in Oncology (IBSTO) program is to prepare predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows for careers in cancer research with comprehensive training in basic and translational research. This training focuses on basic cellular processes and mechanisms that are shared between cell biology and developmental biology that are critical to understanding how cells become tumorigenic and on how to translate this basic research knowledge to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer. The IBSTO program will take place in an active and growing Medical Center environment with state-of-the-art facilities, a vibrant NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, top ranked basic science departments, an Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences, an active Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, and an Alliance with a neighboring minority-serving medical college. The Program Director has a strong record of basic cancer research and administrative experience. Trainees will be placed with experienced, well-funded, productive preceptors in an interactive research environment with extensive resources. The three broad areas of experience of our preceptors are in cell biology, developmental biology/genetics and medicine. Each trainee will have mentors from each group to provide unique and valuable perspectives to enhance their cancer-related research training. The goals of our training program are to provide proactive mentoring and oversight, provide cross-discipline education and research, provide training in cutting edge methodology, develop useful academic skills, foster interactions with faculty and other trainees, provide exposure to current cancer research discoveries, and provide exposure to clinical cancer treatment and translational research. We strongly believe that it is essential to integrate basic science research training in cell biology, developmental biology and genetics that allows understanding of the multiple lesions in cellular processes that define cancer, with a knowledge and appreciation of the clinical aspects of cancer. This combined understanding will be critical to our diagnosis, treatment and eventually the prevention of this disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：肿瘤学综合生物系统培训（IBSTO）计划的目标是为博士前学生和博士后研究员在癌症研究中的职业生涯做好准备，并在基础和转化研究中进行全面培训。该培训侧重于细胞生物学和发育生物学之间共享的基本细胞过程和机制，这些过程和机制对于理解细胞如何成为致瘤性以及如何将这些基础研究知识转化为癌症的诊断，治疗和预防至关重要。IBSTO计划将在一个活跃和不断发展的医疗中心环境中进行，该中心拥有最先进的设施，一个充满活力的NCI指定的综合癌症中心，排名第一的基础科学部门，生物医学科学的跨学科研究生课程，一个活跃的博士后事务办公室，以及与邻近的少数民族服务医学院的联盟。项目主任在基础癌症研究和管理经验方面有着良好的记录。受训者将与经验丰富，资金充足，富有成效的导师在一个互动的研究环境与广泛的资源。我们导师的三个广泛的经验领域是细胞生物学，发育生物学/遗传学和医学。每个学员将有来自每个小组的导师，提供独特和有价值的观点，以加强他们的癌症相关的研究培训。我们的培训计划的目标是提供积极的指导和监督，提供跨学科的教育和研究，提供尖端方法的培训，发展有用的学术技能，促进与教师和其他学员的互动，提供接触当前的癌症研究发现，并提供接触临床癌症治疗和转化研究。我们坚信，必须将细胞生物学，发育生物学和遗传学的基础科学研究培训整合起来，以便了解定义癌症的细胞过程中的多种病变，并了解和欣赏癌症的临床方面。这种综合的理解将对我们的诊断，治疗和最终预防这种疾病至关重要。
