Koch Institute Faculty Recruitment for an MD/PHD Physician-Scientist

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请由大卫H。Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT（Kl），于2007年接替MIT Center for Cancer Research（CCR）。资金要求聘请一名MD/PhD医生科学家，谁将建立一个终身制的轨道，独立的研究职位内的Kl以及保持在地区医院的临床活动。在过去的35年里，CCR和现在的Kl一直是NCI指定的癌症中心，由NCI癌症中心支持赠款支持。最近从CCR到KI的过渡是为了认识到该中心内的癌症研究已经成为 越来越多的多学科，涉及几个麻省理工学院的教师从部门在科学和工程学院。Kl将被安置在一个新的建筑物中，该建筑物目前正在建设中，计划于2010年12月完工。新大楼将有相同数量的癌症科学家和工程学院（包括MD，PhD和MD/PhD学位）致力于癌症和癌症相关问题。通过其物理布局，其科学和行政组织及其过度的使命，科赫研究所将积极促进癌症研究和发展的跨学科方法和合作研究项目。此外，为了充分利用对转化型癌症研究的重视，科赫研究所与几个临床肿瘤学中心一起制定了资助的研究计划。该申请要求资金聘请一名医生-科学家，以进一步增加科赫研究所内转化癌症研究的范围，并为地区临床中心提供额外的外展服务。这个人将有助于在癌症代谢领域的研究，并将参与在这个和其他领域的转化研究。本申请要求资金支持在前两年建立该研究者的实验室;麻省理工学院将提供额外的两年支持。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by the applicant): This application is being submitted by the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT (Kl), which succeeded the MIT Center for Cancer Research (CCR) in 2007. Funds are requested to hire an MD/PhD physician-scientist, who will establish a tenure-track, independent research position within the Kl as well as maintain clinical activities at an area hospital. Over the past 35 years, the CCR and now the Kl have been an NCI-designated Cancer Center supported by an NCI Cancer Center Support Grant. The recent transition from the CCR to the Kl was made in recognition of cancer research within this Center has become increasingly multi-disciplinary, involving several MIT faculty members from departments in both the Schools of Science and Engineering. The Kl will be housed in a new building, which is currently under construction and scheduled to be completed in December 2010. The new building will have an equal number of cancer scientists and engineering faculty (including those with MD, PhD and MD/PhD degrees) working on cancer and cancer-related problems. Through its physical layout, its scientific and administrative organization and its over-arching mission, the Koch Institute will actively stimulate interdisciplinary approaches to cancer research and development and collaborative research projects. Moreover, to take full advantage of the markedly increased emphasis on translational cancer research, the Koch Institute has developed funded research initiatives with several clinical oncology centers. This application requests funds to hire a physician-scientist to increase further the extent of translational cancer research within the Koch Institute as well as to provide additional outreach to area clinical centers. This individual will contribute to research in the area of cancer metabolism and will participate in translational research in this and other areas. This application request funds to support the establishment of this investigator's laboratory over the first two years; MIT will provide an additional two years of support.
