Education and Outreach Core

教育和外联核心(EOC)将采取积极和创造性的方法来应对增加系统生物学调查员队伍的巨大挑战。这一核心的活动已经开始。作为一项试点工作，今年提供了一系列三个内部系统生物学讲习班，取得了巨大的成功(见下文)。在去年春天包括大量股东在内的一次务虚会上进行了初步的概念规划后，克鲁维奇带领包括Sealfon、Lyengar和Sobie在内的少数教职员工制定了一项新颖的综合课程的详细计划，该课程将作为系统生物学学生的核心课程，将于2007年秋季推出。除授课课程外，平机会亦会为多个界别提供工作坊和个别化的培训机会。我们正在开发服务于这些接口的现有研究人员的计划，在这里参与的机构和其他地方，我们将制定外展计划，增加渴望成为生物医学科学这一大趋势的一部分的受训人员的数量。

The Education and Outreach Core (EOC) will take an active and creative approach to the enormous challenge of increasing the pool of Systems Biology investigators. The activities of this Core have already been started. A series of three in-house Systems Biology Workshops has been offered this year as a pilot effort that has enjoyed enormous success (see below). Following initial conceptual planning last spring at a Retreat that included a large number of stake-holders, Krulwich has led a smaller group of faculty including Sealfon, lyengar and Sobie to develop the detailed plans for a novel integrated course that will serve as the core course for Systems Biology students and will be offered in Fall, 2007. In addition to the didactic curriculum, the EOC will offer workshops and individualized training opportunities for an array of constituencies. We are developing programs that serve the current cadre of investigators at these interfaces, here in the participating institutions and elsewhere, and we will develop outreach programs that increase the number of trainees who aspire to be part of this major trend in biomedical sciences.
