Training in Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases

描述(由申请人提供)：佐治亚大学热带和新兴全球疾病中心(CTEGD)建议继续支持其成功的生物医学调查人员培训计划，培训领域包括生物信息学、生物化学、遗传学、分子生物学、细胞生物学和免疫学，与寄生虫病原体、其宿主和病媒的实验室和现场研究有关。CTEGD的宗旨是，为了实现全面影响，研究这些疾病的科学家应该在各自的学科中取得成就，跨学科边界进行合作，并在更大的全球背景下理解他们的研究。因此，我们的教育理念基于对生物科学的广泛了解的严格培训、重点研究领域的深入培训以及认识到寄生虫病在全球医疗和公共卫生实施层面所构成的挑战的观点。这笔培训补助金继续利用细胞生物学、传染病、昆虫学、微生物学、食品科学和技术、生物化学、分子生物学和遗传学等系的广泛培训机会。由19名资金充足和经验丰富的CTEGD教员组成的研究项目提供了寄生虫生物学和宿主/寄生虫关系的许多方面的培训。可供研究的研究系统包括疟疾、肠道原虫、恰加斯病、非洲昏睡病、利什曼病、弓形虫病、多丝鱼、血吸虫病、淋巴丝虫病、寄生昆虫和库蚊、按蚊和硬蜱媒介。通过课程、系列研讨会(期刊俱乐部和正在进行的研究)、基础广泛的讲座、年度研讨会和独特的海外机会，学员们拓宽了他们对寄生虫学的看法，使其超越了他们特定的研究重点。这包括深入讨论法官和实地负责任的研究做法。要求提供为期5年的资金，每年支助6名博士前和3名博士后实习生。优秀的受训人员将根据学术记录、推荐、标准化测试、先前的研究经验和对这一领域的科学事业的承诺，从全国申请者库中竞争性地挑选出来。 相关性(见说明)：人类和兽医寄生虫病是世界大部分地区的主要祸害，培训将使用今天和明天的工具来应对这些疾病的下一代科学家至关重要。这一培训计划不仅在尖端研究方面培训高质量的学员，还拓宽了他们的视野，使他们能够与翻译和操作研究人员进行接触，以推动科学和全球公共卫生措施的发展

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (CTEGD) of the University of Georgia proposes the continuation of support for its successful training program for biomedical investigators in the areas of bioinformatics, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology and immunology related to laboratory and field research on parasitic pathogens, their hosts and vectors. CTEGD is founded on the tenet that to achieve full impact scientists who study these diseases should be accomplished in their discipline, cooperate across disciplinary boundaries, and understand their research in the greater global context. Accordingly our educational concept is based on rigorous training that imparts broad understanding of the biosciences, in depth training in a focused area of research, and perspectives to appreciate the challenge parasitic diseases pose at the level of global medical and public health implementation. This training grant continues to draw on the breadth of training opportunities within the Departments of Cellular Biology, Infectious Diseases, Entomology, Microbiology, Food Science and Technology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Genetics. The research programs of 19 well funded and highly experienced CTEGD faculty members provides training in many aspects of parasite biology and host/parasite relationships. The research systems available for study include malaria, intestinal protozoans, Chagas disease, African sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, parasitoid insects and culicine, anopheline and ixodid vectors. Through courses, a seminar series (Journal Club and Research in Progress), broad-based lectureships, annual symposia, and unique overseas opportunities, trainees broaden their view of parasitology beyond their specific research focus. This includes in-depth discussions of responsible research practices at the bench and in the field. Funding is requested for 5 years to support 6 predoctoral and 3 post-doctoral trainees per year. Superior trainees will be selected competitively from a national pool of applicants based on scholastic records, recommendations, standardized testing, prior research experience and commitment to a scientific career in this field. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Human and veterinary parasitic diseases are major scourges of much of the world, and training the next generation of scientists who will use today's and tomorrow's tools to tackle these diseases is of paramount importance. This Training Program not only trains quality trainees in cutting-edge research, it also broadens their perspectives so they are able to interface with translational and operational researchers to push forward both scientifically and in regard to public health measures around the globe
