Postdoctoral Training in the Radiation Scinces

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求资金继续在斯坦福大学医学院非常成功的放射科学计划，题为“放射科学博士后培训。“这项培训计划满足了为下一代研究人员提供培训的关键需求， 临床癌症治疗斯坦福大学没有其他培训项目涉及辐射科学，事实上全国也很少。该计划提供我们的教师，特别是那些在非学位授予部门（例如，放射肿瘤学和病理学），有机会招募和指导一流的博士后研究员。该计划的目标是为博士后学员提供最好的培训，使他们成为辐射和癌症研究领域成功和独立的领导者。该计划通过为每个博士后培训生提供广泛而全面的课程来实现这一目标，大量的教育资源，包括专门针对辐射生物学，物理学和肿瘤学的研讨会，讲座，会议和研讨会，由16名杰出的导师组成的教师，他们跨越7个部门，具有丰富的指导经验，以及斯坦福大学医学院内无与伦比的研究环境。此外，博士后学员审计课程，这将有助于他们在他们的研究和实现自己的职业生涯 目标.我们的博士后学员成为独立的科学家。他们学习有效地编写赠款，并获得自己的个人资金。他们还学习广泛的专业技能，如实验室管理和指导，以更成功地在当今的就业市场竞争。该计划的一个关键优势是其真正的多学科方法，辐射科学纳入分子生物学，遗传学，细胞生物学，计算生物学和生物信息学，比较肿瘤学，发育生物学和肿瘤生物学等领域，以及用于癌症诊断和治疗的生物技术开发。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funds to continue the highly successful Radiation Sciences program at the Stanford University School of Medicine, entitled "Postdoctoral Training In The Radiation Sciences." This training program meets a crucial need in providing training for the next generation of researchers investigating this critical element of clinical cancer therapy. No other training program at Stanford, and indeed few around the country, addresses the radiation sciences. This program provides our faculty, especially those in non-degree granting departments (e.g., Radiation Oncology and Pathology), the opportunity to recruit and mentor top-notch postdoctoral fellows. The goal of this program is to provide the very best training for its postdoctoral trainees so that they may become successful and independent leaders in the field of radiation and cancer research. The program accomplishes this goal by providing each postdoctoral trainee with a broad and comprehensive curriculum, a vast array of educational resources including seminars, lectures, conferences and workshops specifically geared towards radiation biology, physics, and oncology, a faculty comprised of 16 exceptional preceptors spanning 7 departments with extensive experience in mentoring, and an unparalleled research environment within the Stanford School of Medicine. In addition, postdoctoral trainees audit courses that will aid them in their research and achieving their career goals. Our postdoctoral trainees become independent scientists. They learn to write grants effectively and to obtain their own individual funding. They also learn extensive professional skills such as lab management and mentoring to more successfully compete in today's job market. A key strength of the program is its true multidisciplinary approach to the radiation sciences incorporating such fields as molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, computational biology and bioinformatics, comparative oncology, developmental biology, and tumor biology, as well as biotechnology development for use in cancer diagnosis and therapeutics.
