项目摘要

The cornerstone of any transdisciplinary research enterprise is a cadre of appropriately trained investigators. To contribute to the development of such a cadre, the Center's Education and Training unit will provide support for undergraduates, medical students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty to motivate and prepare them to work at the interface of the physical/quantitative sciences and cancer research. At NU, as at most academic institutions, students and fellows in physical sciences departments receive little exposure to the fields of cancer biology and oncology. Likewise, medical students and trainees in tumor biology remain largely insulated from the physical sciences. A central mission of the Center's Education and Training unit is therefore to develop a variety of cross-disciplinary educational offerings (seminars, workshops, journal clubs, research experiences) to begin the process of bridging the gap between the physical sciences and tumor biology. We will focus the bulk of our efforts on NU students and fellows, in the hopes of planting seeds of interest that will influence subsequent training and career decisions. To extend our educational programs to interested parties outside of NU, seminars and workshops will be recorded and archived, so that they can be accessed from the Center website. The Unit will also provide funding to support cross-disciplinary educational and training experiences at institutions and venues external to NU (workshops at other PS-OCs, AACR meetings, exchange of trainees and faculty between physical sciences and oncological sciences laboratories).

任何跨学科研究企业的基石是经过适当培训的调查人员的干部。为了为这种干部的发展做出贡献，该中心的教育和培训部门将为本科生，医学生，研究生，博士后研究员和教师提供支持，并为他们的身体/定量科学和癌症研究的界面提供激励和准备。在NU，与大多数学术机构一样，物理科学系的学生和研究员几乎没有接触到癌症生物学和肿瘤学领域。同样，医学生和受训者在肿瘤生物学中，生物学仍然很大程度上与物理科学隔绝。因此，该中心的教育和培训部门的核心使命是开发各种跨学科的教育产品（研讨会，讲习班，期刊俱乐部，研究经验），以开始弥合物理科学与肿瘤生物学之间差距的过程。我们将把大部分努力集中在NU学生和研究员上，希望种植感兴趣的种子，这将影响随后的培训和职业决定。为了将我们的教育计划扩展到NU以外的感兴趣方面，将记录和存档研讨会和研讨会，以便可以从中心网站访问它们。该部门还将提供资金，以支持NU外部机构和场地的跨学科教育和培训经验（其他PS-OC的讲习班，AACR会议，学员的交流以及体育科学和肿瘤学实验室之间的教师）。
