DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For over 113 years, the Marine Biological Laboratory has offered the Embryology Course, which has played an important role in the training of American developmental biologists. The course trains pre- and postdoctoral students for research careers in developmental biology in a unique physical and intellectual environment, not duplicated elsewhere in the nation. The Embryology Course consists of a series of formal lectures, informal seminars, extended discussions, and intensive laboratory research experience delivered over a six-week period in the summer. Course students are selected who are committed to teaching and research careers in the field of developmental biology, and are chosen from an international applicant pool. Traditionally, a number of the students from each year's class later move into positions of leadership in the international developmental biology research community. The teaching faculty members are senior scientists in the field, some of whom serve as instructors and lead research modules in the course, and others will give lectures and lead discussion on individual topics. The course consists of three modules, each of which is about two weeks long. Each module is staffed by an average of three to four resident instructors plus a comparable number of outside lecturers. The themes of the modules change from year to year as important developments in the field change. The course introduces students to a large number of terrestrial and marine embryos including C. elegans, Drosophila, ascidians, sea urchins, amphibians, zebrafish, chick, and mouse. Approaches include current molecular biological technologies, embryonic manipulation, microinjection and micromanipulation, microscopy and computer enhanced imaging technologies, and a number of immunochemical and in situ hybridization approaches. Students are challenged to formulate and test hypotheses in a well-equipped research environment and under the guidance of experienced research faculty and assistants. In support of the course, the Marine Biological Library provides a unique learning environment, laboratory and support facilities, an animal collection facility, and an excellent research library.

简介（申请人提供）：113年来，海洋生物实验室开设了胚胎学课程，在培养美国发育生物学家方面发挥了重要作用。该课程在一个独特的物理和智力环境中培养pre- and - post -博士生从事发育生物学的研究工作，这在全国其他地方是无法复制的。胚胎学课程由一系列正式讲座、非正式研讨会、扩展讨论和密集的实验室研究经验组成，为期六周。本课程的学生是从国际申请者中挑选的，致力于在发育生物学领域从事教学和研究工作的学生。传统上，每年班里的一些学生后来会进入国际发育生物学研究界的领导职位。教学人员是该领域的资深科学家，其中一些人担任讲师并领导课程的研究模块，另一些人将在个别主题上授课并领导讨论。课程由三个模块组成，每个模块大约两周。每个模块平均由三到四名常驻教师和相当数量的外部讲师组成。随着该领域的重要发展变化，模块的主题每年都在变化。本课程向学生介绍了大量的陆地和海洋胚胎，包括秀丽隐杆线虫、果蝇、海鞘、海胆、两栖动物、斑马鱼、小鸡和老鼠。方法包括当前的分子生物学技术，胚胎操作，显微注射和显微操作，显微镜和计算机增强成像技术，以及一些免疫化学和原位杂交方法。学生面临的挑战是在设备齐全的研究环境中，在经验丰富的研究教师和助理的指导下，制定和检验假设。为了支持这门课程，海洋生物图书馆提供了一个独特的学习环境、实验室和辅助设施、动物收集设施和一个优秀的研究图书馆。
