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）计划的目标是通过基础和转化研究方面的综合培训，为癌症研究领域的博士生和博士后做好准备。本培训的重点是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项目将在一个活跃和不断发展的医疗中心环境中进行，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，一流的基础科学部门，一个跨学科的生物医学研究生项目，一个活跃的博士后事务办公室，以及与邻近的少数民族医学院的联盟。项目主任有扎实的基础癌症研究和管理经验。学员将与经验丰富、资金充足、富有成效的导师一起，在一个资源丰富的互动研究环境中学习。我们的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研究培训。我们的培训计划的目标是提供积极主动的指导和监督，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，提供当前癌症研究发现的机会，并提供临床癌症治疗和转化研究的机会。我们坚信，将细胞生物学、发育生物学和遗传学的基础科学研究训练与癌症临床方面的知识和欣赏相结合是至关重要的，这些训练可以让我们理解定义癌症的细胞过程中的多种病变。这种综合理解对我们的诊断、治疗和最终预防这种疾病至关重要。
