Education & training

物理科学和医学之间的接口是科学探索的新前沿，最终是创造新的和改进的诊断和治疗工具，以检测、治疗、治愈和预防人类疾病。作为癌症物理中心不可或缺的一部分，我们建议创建一个癌症物理学的博士后和博士后综合培训计划，该计划将定位于这一界面，并将建立一个独特的国家资源，包括跨学科和协同计划 癌症生物学的基础研究。该计划将培训跨学科的博士后学生和博士后研究员，为癌症物理学奠定基础，使人们能够以物理科学为基础，对癌细胞的功能有一个新的看法。该计划将通过强调早期研究的独立性，为学术界的研究事业培养一支学生和研究员干部队伍。学生和研究员将利用约翰霍普金斯医院的研究和临床资源，包括NCI指定的Sidney Kimmel综合癌症中心、路德维希癌症遗传和治疗研究所、Sol Goldman胰腺癌症中心、活体细胞和分子成像中心、约翰霍普金斯纳米生物技术研究所(INBT网站：inbt.jhu.edu)独特的教育资源和实验设施，以及华盛顿大学医学院指定的NCI指定的Siteman综合癌症中心、癌症生物学计划、Siteman癌症纳米技术卓越中心和分子成像中心北卡罗来纳大学医学院NIH资助的生物信息学和计算生物学课程，以及NIH资助的分子和细胞生物物理学研究生培训计划。

The interface between the physical sciences and medicine is a new frontier for scientific exploration and, ultimately, for the creation of new and improved diagnostic and therapeutic tools to detect, treat, cure, and prevent human diseases. As an integral part of the Center for Cancer Physics, we propose to create a combined predoctoral and postdoctoral training program in physics of cancer that will be positioned at this interface and will establish a unique national resource with interdisciplinary and synergistic programs in fundamental research in cancer biology. This program will train predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows across disciplines to lay foundations of cancer physics that will enable a new view of cancer cell function grounded in the physical sciences. The program will train a cadre of students and fellows for careers in research in academia by emphasizing eariy independence in research. Students and fellows will take advantage of research and clinical resources at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, including the NCI-designated Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Genetics and Therapeutics, the Sol Goldman Pancreatic Cancer Center, the In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging Center, the unique educational resources and experimental facilities of the Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT website: inbt.jhu.edu), as well as the Washington University Medical School's NCI-designated Siteman Comprehensive Cancer Center, The Cancer Biology Program, the Siteman Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence, and the Molecular Imaging Center, and at the University of North Carolina Medical School's NIH funded Curriculum in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and NIH-funded Molecular and Cellular Biophysics Graduate Training Program.
