Education/Training and Outreach Activities

教育/培训和外联活动 综合培训计划创建/扩展本地和远程模块进行综合培训，其中可能包括研究生课程，奖学金，认证，课程和内部研讨会系列，以培养能够用物理科学和工程方法解决癌症相关问题的多学科学员。 纳米医学证书 癌症纳米技术是快速发展的纳米医学学科的一部分，涉及纳米技术和生物医学研究的整合。认识到这种高度跨学科的方法有许多重要的影响，为基础和应用生物医学研究，在卡罗莱纳CCNE的第一阶段，我们创建了纳米医学证书通过研究生院。我们计划继续提供这一证书课程。该证书适用于物理或生物医学科学博士课程的学生，以及类似领域的博士后研究员。证书课程是现有博士课程的附属课程，证书的要求将是除了正常的博士课程要求。参加证书课程需要学员的主要导师的批准。该计划的一个关键目标是严格和真正的跨学科，但仍然可以访问来自不同背景的学生和博士后研究员。为了实现这一目标，有三个主要方面的证书计划。 纳米医学课程（3个课时） 这是一个跨学科的课程，由项目3 PI博士指导Russell Mumper，并由许多当前的CCNE教师共同授课，包括DeSimone，Zhou，Huang，Lin，Zamboni和Juliano。本课程是所有学生/研究员在纳米医学证书课程的要求。本课程为具有物理，化学或生物科学背景的学生介绍纳米医学的跨学科领域，并强调新兴的纳米技术和生物医学应用，包括纳米材料， 纳米工程、基于纳米技术的药物递送系统、基于纳米的成像和诊断系统、纳米毒理学以及将纳米医学转化为临床研究。 纳米医学补充领域的研究旋转（3个课程小时） 该计划中的每个学生（或研究员）都将有一个主要导师和一个共同导师。如果主要导师是物理科学家，那么共同导师必须是生物医学科学家，反之亦然。作为纳米医学证书课程的重要组成部分，学生/研究员将在共同导师的实验室中花费相当于一个研究轮换（大约三个月）的时间进行研究，并吸收互补领域的知识框架，因为它适用于纳米医学。轮换计划将由导师、共同导师和证书课程委员会的指导导师批准。 预计共同导师将在培训过程中发挥积极作用。 课程（4个课时） 学生将被要求完成4个学时的课程，其中至少1个学时可能不计入学生的常规博士学位。程序.这将包括至少两门课程或四个课时。这些课程分为“物理科学”，“生物科学”和“跨学科”。至少有一门课程必须在学生的主要领域之外。因此，例如，一个来自物理科学博士学位的学生。计划必须采取至少一门课程，从生物科学或跨学科的产品，而学生从生物博士。计划必须采取至少一门课程，从物理科学或跨学科的产品。除了UNC-CH课程外，学生还可以选择圣路易斯华盛顿大学提供的网络课程，该课程由其癌症纳米技术卓越中心提供支持。这门课程有一个广泛的重点，从材料科学到成像和临床应用，并将提供一个很好的机会，从另一个领先的机构获得对纳米医学的看法。学生将在华盛顿大学注册为“非保密学生”，在那里有先例可以协商免除学费，并给予来自另一所学校的学生学分。 C-CCNE月度研讨会系列 我们计划继续我们在第一年开始的C-CCNE每月研讨会计划。这个非常成功的研讨会项目的演讲者来自当地和国家的研究机构和生物技术公司。研讨会在Lineberger癌症中心举行，主题从材料制造到纳米技术在癌症研究中的应用。我们将努力传播科学进步和纳米技术的研究机会，以实验室科学家以及医生谁可以帮助实施转化工作。为了鼓励出席，我们将宣传这些信息， 通过enfire社区和区域机构举办研讨会。

Education/Training and Outreach Activities Integrative training Plans to create/expand local and remote modules for Integrative training that may Include graduate programs, fellowships, certifications, courses, and internal seminar series to develop multidisciplinary trainees that can tackle cancer-related problems with physical sciences and engineering approaches. Nanomedicine Certificate Cancer Nanotechnology is part of the rapidly growing discipline of Nanomedicine that involves the integrafion of nanotechnology and biomedical research. Recognizing that this highly interdisciplinary approach has many important ramifications for both basic and applied biomedical research, during the first phase of the Carolina CCNE, we created a Certificate in Nanomedicine through the UNC Graduate School. We plan to continue to offer this Certificate Program. This certificate is available to students enrolled in PhD programs in the physical or biomedical sciences, and to postdoctoral fellows in similar areas. The Certificate program is an adjunct to existing PhD programs and the requirements of the Certificate would be in addition to the normal PhD program requirements. Approval by the trainee's primary mentor is required for participation in the Certificate Program. A key goal for this Program is to be rigorous and truly interdisciplinary, but yet remain accessible to students and postdoctoral fellows from very diverse backgrounds. To attain this objective, there are three major aspects ofthe Certificate Program. Nanomedicine Course (3 course hours) This is an interdisciplinary course directed by Project 3 PI Dr. Russell Mumper and is co-taught by many current CCNE faculty including DeSimone, Zhou, Huang, Lin, Zamboni and Juliano. This course is required of all students/fellows in the Nanomedicine Certificate Program. The course offers an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of nanomedicine for students with physical, chemical or biological science background and emphasizes emerging nanotechnologies and biomedical applicafions including nanomaterials, nanoengineering, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems, nano-based imaging and diagnosfic systems, nanotoxicoiogy, and translating nanomedicines into clinical investigation. Research Rotafion in Complementary Field of Nanomedicine (3 course hours) Each student (or fellow) in the Program will have both a primary mentor and a co-mentor. If the primary mentor is a physical scienfist then the co-mentor must be a biomedical scientist, or vice-versa. As an important part of the Nanomedicine Certificate Program, the student/fellow will spend the equivalent of one research rotation (approximately three months) in the laboratory of the co-mentor conducfing research and absorbing the intellectual framework of the complementary field as it applies to nanomedicine. Rotation plans will be approved by the mentor, co-mentor, and the guiding mentor from the Certificate Program Committee. The co-mentor will be expected to play an active role in the training process. Coursework (4 course hours) Students will be expected to complete 4 course hours of coursework at least 1 of which may not count toward the student's regular Ph.D. program. This would include a minimum of two courses or four course hours. The courses are grouped as 'Physical Sciences', 'Biological Sciences' and 'Interdisciplinary'. At least one course must be outside the student's primary field. Thus, for example, a student from a physical science Ph.D. program must take at least one course from the Biological Science or Interdisciplinary offerings, while a student from a biological Ph.D. program must take at least one course from the Physical Science or Interdisciplinary offerings. In addition to UNC-CH courses, students would be able to select a web-based course offered by Washington University in St. Louis, supported by their Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence. This course has a broad focus from materials science to imaging and clinical applicafions and would provide a great opportunity to gain a perspecfive on nanomedicine from another leading Institution. Students would register as "unclassified students" at Washington University, where there is precedent for negofiafing a tuition waiver and granting credit to students from another institution. C-CCNE monthly seminar series We plan to continue the C-CCNE monthly seminar program that we started in Year 1. This very successful seminar program featured speakers from local and nafional research institufions and biotechnology firms. The seminars were held at the Lineberger Cancer Center and the topics ranged from materials fabrication to nanotechnology applications in cancer research. We will work to disseminate the scientific advances and research opportunifies of nanotechnology to both laboratory scientists as well as physicians who could help to implement translational work. In order to encourage attendance, we will promote information about these seminars through the enfire UNC community as well as regional institutions.
