项目摘要

N5. EDUCATION AND OUTREACH CORE N5A. CANCER SYSTEMS BIOLOGY EDUCATION AT MIT The MIT Tumor Cell Networks Center devotes high priority to training students and postdocs at the interface engaging cancer biology with computational modeling approaches. While our current faculty members are active in this emerging field, the future of cancer biology more critically depends on educating a new generation of scientists to lead advances in this field. Our strategy is to encourage student/postdoc trainees to have joint mentorship from supervisors whose core expertise straddle the computational-biological interface. We endeavor to attract students/postdocs from both molecular/cellular biology and computerscience/ engineering and place them together in joint research projects with faculty members from these two broad areas. N5B. OUTREACH The ICBP grant has had a significant impact within the MIT campus community by catalyzing interactions between the systems biology and cancer biology communities. One example of the new communication between these communities was the choice to focus the annual MIT Center for Cancer Research Symposium on the "Systems Biology of Cancer" in 2008. The program for this Symposium (with over 1,000 attendees) featured outstanding investigators from a number of institutions across the USA and Canada bringing integrative systems approaches to bear on basic and clinical science facets in fundamental understanding, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. A striking manifestation of our marrying the cancer and systems biology communities was the evolution of the MIT Center for Cancer Research into the new Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research - doubled in size, now including a roughly equal number of members from MIT science and engineering departments.

N5。教育和外展核心 N5A。麻省理工学院的生物学教育麻省理工学院肿瘤细胞网络中心将高度优先于培训学生和博士后。通过计算建模方法吸引癌症生物学。尽管我们目前的教职员工活跃于这个新兴领域，但癌症生物学的未来更加重要地依赖于教育新的一代科学家领导该领域的进步。我们的策略是鼓励学生/博士后学员要获得主管的共同指导，他们的核心专业知识跨越了计算生物学界面。我们努力吸引来自分子/蜂窝生物学和计算机科学的学生/博士后/ 工程并将它们与这两个的教职员工一起进入联合研究项目广阔的地区。 N5B。外展 ICBP赠款通过催化互动在MIT校园社区产生了重大影响在系统生物学和癌症生物学社区之间。新沟通的一个例子这些社区之间的选择是重点是年度MIT癌症研究研讨会中心关于2008年的“癌症系统生物学”。该研讨会的计划（有1000多名与会者）有来自美国和加拿大许多机构的杰出调查员综合系统的方法可以遵循基本和临床科学方面的基本理解，癌症的诊断和治疗。我们结婚的癌症和系统生物学的惊人表现社区是麻省理工学院癌症研究中心的发展，综合癌症研究的大小翻了一番，现在包括大致相等的MIT成员科学与工程部门。
