Training Program in Skin Biology and Cancer

描述（由申请人提供）：皮肤生物学和癌症培训计划的重要和主要目标是为研究生和博士后研究员提供最先进的跨学科基础研究培训，他们寻求在紧密交织的皮肤生物学-皮肤癌学科的职业生涯。具体而言，培训计划将为博士前和博士后研究员提供一个独特的机会，通过分子，免疫学和生物工程研究获得对皮肤再生，遗传性皮肤病以及与之密切相关的皮肤癌生物学的重要科学见解。作为这个独特而有凝聚力的培训计划的导师，教师长期致力于培养跨学科研究的年轻科学家，从伤口愈合和瘢痕形成，皮肤修复和组织替代，到皮肤肿瘤的分子和免疫学研究。培训计划的导师们团结一致，致力于招募和培训下一代科学家，他们将扩大皮肤研究的这一密切相关的领域，并追求继续处于该领域前沿的研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The important and primary goal of the Training Program in Skin Biology and Cancer is to provide state-of-the-art interdisciplinary basic research training for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who seek a career in the strongly interwoven skin biology-skin cancer discipline. Specifically, the training program will offer pre- and postdoctoral fellows a unique opportunity to obtain by way of molecular, immunologic, and bioengineering studies, important scientific insights into the biology of skin regeneration, inherited skin disorders, and closely linked to it, skin cancer. The faculty serving as mentors of this unique and cohesive training program, have a long-standing and strong commitment to training young scientists in interdisciplinary research ranging from wound healing and scarring, skin repair and tissue replacement, to molecular and immunologic studies of skin neoplasia. The mentors of the training program are united in their commitment to recruit and train the next generation of scientists who will expand this strongly interconnected area of skin research, and pursue research that will continue to be at the forefront of this field.
