Training Program in Signal Transduction and Cancer

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是西北大学Robert H. Lurie综合癌症中心信号转导和癌症培训项目（T32 CA070085）的续期申请。信号转导和癌症培训计划通过实验室研究和研讨会、期刊俱乐部和项目会议的结构化课程，为信号转导和癌症领域的博士后培训生做好准备。这些受体是由NIH资助的研究人员建立的，他们专注于恶性细胞信号传导途径的转化研究。这个培训项目补充了Lurie癌症中心现有的关于癌症中激素作用和信号转导的基础科学项目。培训计划提供了一个培训环境，使最近的博士花两年时间在一个结构化的指导环境中，他们可以获得必要的技能和基础知识，然后在学术界或工业界的癌症研究实验室开始作为独立调查员的职业生涯。在过去的十年中，我们培养了26名博士后，其中一些人在工业界取得了成功的学术教职或高级科学家职位。这是我们的。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for renewal funding for the Training Program in Signal Transduction and Cancer (T32 CA070085) at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University. The Training Program in Signal Transduction and Cancer has been preparing postdoctoral trainees to work in the area of signal transduction and cancer through mentored laboratory research and a structured curriculum of seminars, journal clubs and program meetings. The preceptors are established NIH funded investigators who focus on translational research on signaling pathways in malignant cells. This training program complements the Lurie Cancer Center's existing Basic Science Program in Hormone Action and Signal Transduction in Cancer. The Training Program provides a training milieu that enables recent PhDs to spend two years in a structured mentored environment where they can acquire the skills and fundamental knowledge necessary before embarking on careers as independent investigators in cancer research laboratories, either in academia or in industry. Over the last ten years we have trained 26 postdoctoral fellows, several of whom have achieved successful academic faculty positions or senior scientist positions in industry. It is our expectation that our trainees will continue to be appropriately prepared to meet the challenges of biomedical research in the coming years and will contribute to seminal discoveries in signaling and cancer.
