Training in Molecular Virology and Viral Pathogenesis

项目摘要 目前迫切需要进一步了解病毒感染， 因此，需要一个强大的病毒学研究社区在美国和世界。的 爱荷华州大学病毒学培训计划的目的是培训年轻科学家， 成为这个研究团体中富有成效的成员病毒学培训补助金 爱荷华州大学在两个方面提供帮助。首先，它促进了对博士生的严格培训， 研究病毒学。第二，它促进了学生和教师之间的互动， 爱荷华州的病毒学研究。通过提供津贴支持和旅行资金， 培训补助金将有助于招募对病毒学感兴趣的学生。 通过建立课程要求，包括研究和文学研讨会， 病毒学社区和病毒学培训课程的合作教学培训 格兰特将促进爱荷华州大学更大的病毒学社区的互动， 超越。有十个病毒学培训补助金教师谁代表了各种各样的研究 对病毒的分子和细胞生物学中非常基本的过程的研究感兴趣 复制，研究宿主动物对病毒感染的反应，研究最有效的 病毒传递基因的机制。我们寻求三个博士前毕业生的支持 学生在第二年和第四年学习之间的两年。

Project Summary There is a continuing and urgent need for greater understanding of virus infections and, consequently, a need for a robust virology research community in the U.S and the world. The purpose of the Virology Training Program at the University of Iowa is to train young scientists to be productive members of that research community. The Virology Training Grant at the University of Iowa helps in two ways. First, it fosters the rigorous training of PhD students in the study of virology. Second, it promotes interaction among students and faculty interested in virology across the University of Iowa. By providing stipend support and travel funds for graduate students, the Training Grant will facilitate recruitment of students interested in virology. By establishing curriculum requirements that include research and literature seminars for the virology community and the collaborative teaching of virology training courses the Training Grant will promote interaction in the larger virology community at the University of Iowa and beyond. There are ten Virology Training Grant faculty who represent a wide variety of research interests from study of very basic processes in the molecular and cellular biology of virus replication, to study of host animal responses to virus infection, to study of the most efficient mechanisms for gene delivery by viruses. We seek support for three predoctoral graduate students for two years between their second and fourth years of study.
