Gene-Environment Interactinos Training Program

基因-环境相互作用培训计划(GEITP)的目标是培养博士前和 博士后学生将精通环境暴露和遗传多样性 干预以改变疾病的发病时间。实现这一目标需要跨学科的团队方法。 将对遗传多样性、表观遗传变化、高通量基因组学、 生物统计学、生物标记物和暴露评估方法。研究的合作努力 为了实现这一目标，需要教师、临床医生、博士后和博士后实习生。一个 导师团队的方法，结合了受人尊敬的科学家在暴露领域的专业知识 评估、遗传变异性、疾病生物标记物和个体化/定制药物将用于 在基因-环境相互作用的多个领域对受训者进行教育。博士前培训将包括 除了学生录取的博士课程外，还需要完成必修的课程，以及与 导师团队，并在几个领域进行接触评估、高通量基因 变异性测量、生物标记物或暴露和/或疾病。博士后培训将包括 实验室和人事管理计划、试点资助申请和为期一年的强化资助 写作工作坊，为他们的独立研究做准备。所有受训人员将被要求参加 “基因组学、暴露和生物标记物的技术”研讨会，该研讨会将作为本次会议的一部分创建。 计划，并在一年一度的GEITP学生研讨会上展示研究成果。该计划将包括一个 专门的治理结构，以确保招聘适当的受训人员，实现教育目标， 这笔赠款的目的达到了。

The goal of the Gene-Environment Interactions Training Program (GEITP) is to train pre-doctoral and postdoctoral students who will be versed in ways that both environment exposures and genetic diversity nteract to alter the onset of disease. Achieving this objective requires an interdisciplinary team approach integrating an understanding of genetic diversity, epigenetic alterations, high-throughput genomics, biostatistics, biomarkers, and exposure assessment approaches. The collaborative efforts of research faculty, clinicians, postdoctoral and pre-doctoral trainees are needed in order to meet this objective. A mentorship team approach, combining the expertise of well-regarded scientists in the areas of exposure assessment, genetic variability, biomarkers of disease, and individualized/tailored medicine will be used to educate trainees in multiple areas of gene-environment interactions. Predoctoral training will include required coursework in addition to the student's matriculated Ph.D. program, laboratory rotations with the team of mentors, and hands-on work in several areas of exposure assessment, high-throughput genetic variability measures, and biomarkers or exposure and/or disease. Postdoctoral training will include programs in laboratory and personnel management, pilot grant applications, and an intensive year long grant writing workshop to prepare them for independent research. All trainees will be required to attend "Technologies in genomics, exposure, and biomarkers" workshop, which will be created as part of this program, and present research results at an annual GEITP Student Symposium. This program will include a dedicated governance structure to assure that appropriate trainees are recruited, education goals are met, and the aims of this grant are achieved.
