Interdisciplinary Training in Genome Engineering (Component 10 of 11)TL1

NGEC的总体目标是将基因组工程应用于造血干细胞，以 基因修复的目的。实现这一目标将需要七个NGEC科学小组之间的工作 组件要紧密集成。NGEC的次要目标是促进 基因组工程作为一门科学学科。此T90/R90组件将用于促进这两项功能 目标通过支持在基因组工程方面的博士后水平的跨学科培训- 相关字段。 选定的个人将执行跨越两个或更多学科的项目，由两个人共同指导 具有互补专业知识的首席调查人员。第一年、第三年需要一个职位的支持 2年级的职位，3-5年级的4个职位。将在跨学科的基础上选择研究员 他们项目的性质及其与基因组工程的关系。训练期最长可达两次 几年，培训将包括积极的研究和相关的实验室会议，NGEC小组会议 (见组成部分1)，在基因组工程年度研讨会上介绍他们的数据(见 构成部分9)，并每年出差参加外部会议。此外，还提供了其他选项 跨学科经验，包括教学课程、生物技术外部研究、许多 在非正规教育机构和研究生水平之间举行的跨学科研讨会和讲习班 教书。

The overall goal of the NGEC is the application of genome engineering to hematopoietic stem cells for the purpose of gene repair. Achieving this goal will require work among the seven NGEC scientific components to be tightly integrated. A secondary aim of the NGEC is to promote the development of genome engineering as a scientific discipline. This T90/R90 component will function to promote both of these objectives by supporting interdisciplinary training of post-doctoral level individuals in genome engineering- related fields. Selected individuals will carry out projects spanning two or more disciplines with co-mentoring by two principal investigators with complementary expertise. Support is requested for one position in year one, three positions in year 2, and four positions in years 3-5. Fellows will be chosen on the basis of the interdisciplinary nature of their project and its relationship to genome engineering. The period of training will be up to two years, and training will involve active research and associated laboratory meetings, NGEC group meetings (see component 1), presentation of their data at the annual Workshop for Genome Engineering (see component 9), and travel to an outside meeting each year. Options are also provided for additional interdisciplinary experiences including didactic coursework, a biotechnology externship, the many interdisciplinary symposia and workshops which take place among NGEC institutions, and graduate level teaching.
