Career Development

UCLA-ICMIC的职业发展部分。 F.I. UCLA-ICMIC职业发展部分一直是，并将继续是一个灵活的， 程序.我们的目标是培养对基础癌症研究和/或临床转化研究与分子成像应用的跨学科接口感兴趣的优秀候选人。在他们的ICMIC支持结束时，我们希望他们的培训将有助于增加癌症发现研究或改善诊断，预测对治疗的反应和/或监测治疗的职业。我们在招聘和支持的受训人员方面尽可能灵活。然而，我们做-作为从职业发展资源支持的条件-一个规定，接受者参与教学指导无论是在癌症生物学或生物成像的原则（或两者兼而有之！）如果评审委员会认为候选人存在仅通过实验室参与无法纠正的缺陷。我们的内部审查委员会由我们的研究部门私人合伙人（Hong Wu博士、Caius Radu博士、Antoni Ribas博士）、Herschman博士和Phelps博士以及Owen Witte博士和Jonathan Braun博士组成，负责审查申请并选择学员。我们还将要求，作为支持的条件，个别学员参加部分（针对个人）的“课程”，其中包括特定的课程，个人实验室研究小组会议，参与克研究所分子成像，琼森综合癌症中心和分子医学研究所内部研讨会，以及UCLA-ICMIC每周研究会议。我们还将要求学员和他们的导师 学员在我们的专业资源中获得所有成像模式的实践经验。我们的目标，除了一个成功的研究项目，将是-在他们的支持期结束时-学员将熟悉生物成像和癌症生物学的基本原理，并在成像和癌症研究的一个或多个领域的专家。虽然我们不会期望学员掌握放射合成化学，断层图像的数学重建以及他们在这个跨学科计划中研究所需的所有其他技术，但我们将期望所有这些领域的工作知识和专业知识。

CAREER DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT OF THE UCLA-ICMIC. F.I. The UCLA-ICMIC Career Development Component has been, and will continue to be, a flexible program. Our goal is to train outstanding candidates who have an interest in the interdisciplinary interface of basic cancer research and/or clinical-translational studies with molecular imaging applications. At the end of their ICMIC support, we hope their training will contribute to careers that increase cancer discovery research or improve diagnosis, prediction of response to therapy and/or monitoring of therapy. We are as flexible as possible with regard to the spectrum of trainees that we will recruit and support. However, we make - as a condition of support from Career Development resources - a provision that recipients participate in didactic instruction either in Cancer Biology or in principles of Biological Imaging (or both!) if the review committee is of the opinion that the candidate has a deficiency that will not be corrected by laboratory participation alone. Our Internal Review Board, made up of our Research Component P.l.s (Drs. Hong Wu, Caius Radu, Antoni Ribas), Drs. Herschman and Phelps, and Drs. Owen Witte and Jonathan Braun review applications and select trainees. We will also require, as a condition of support, that individual trainees participate in portions (tailored to the individual) of a "curriculum" that includes specific courses, individual laboratory research group meetings, participation in Crump Institute for Molecular Imaging, Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and Institute of Molecular Medicine internal seminars, and UCLA-ICMIC weekly research meetings. We will also request of trainees and their mentors that trainees receive some practical experience in all the imaging modalities available in our Specialized Resources. Our goal, in addition to a successful research project, will be that - at the conclusion of their support period - the trainees will be familiar with the fundamental principles of biological imaging and cancer biology, and expert in one or more areas of imaging and cancer research. While we will not expect trainees to have mastered radiosynthetic chemistry, mathematical reconstructions of tomographic images and all the other technologies required for their research in this interdisciplinary program, we will expect a working knowledge of all these areas and expertise in their areas of concentration.
