Interdisciplinary Training Program in Biostatistics and Personalized Medicine

描述(由申请人提供)：这项提案概述了一个新的生物统计学博士前培训计划，重点是基因组学和个性化医学的应用。主要教职员工来自斯坦福大学卫生研究与政策系和统计系。一群来自生物化学、遗传学、心脏病学和其他领域的附属教员为跨学科研究提供了必要的广度。该项目的学员在统计系攻读博士学位，重点是生物统计学；斯坦福大学目前不提供这一选项。除了满足PHD I统计的要求，拟议的计划还将包括生物医学科学的额外课程工作，在合作环境中经验的指导研究，以及负责任的研究行为培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal outlines a new pre-doctoral training program in biostatistics that emphasizes applications to genomics and personalized medicine. Primary faculty members are from the Departments of Health Research & Policy and Statistics at Stanford University. A group of affiliate faculty from biochemistry, genetics, cardiology and other areas provide the necessary breadth for interdisciplinary research. The trainees in the program pursue a PhD in the Department of Statistics, with a concentration in Biostatistics; this option currently not available at Stanford. In addition to fulfilling the requirements of the PhD i Statistics, the proposed program will include additional course work in biomedical sciences, mentored research experienced in a collaborative setting, and training in the responsible conduct of research.
