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.

描述(由申请者提供)：皮肤生物学和癌症培训计划的重要和主要目标是为寻求在皮肤生物学-皮肤癌学科中寻求职业生涯的研究生和博士后提供最先进的跨学科基础研究培训。具体地说，该培训计划将为博士后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，获得对皮肤再生生物学、遗传性皮肤病以及与之密切相关的皮肤癌的重要科学见解。作为这一独特而有凝聚力的培训计划的导师，教职员工长期坚定地致力于培训年轻科学家进行跨学科研究，从伤口愈合和疤痕形成、皮肤修复和组织置换，到皮肤肿瘤的分子和免疫学研究。培训计划的导师团结一致，致力于招募和培训下一代科学家，他们将扩大这一相互关联的皮肤研究领域，并从事将继续走在该领域前沿的研究。
