Training grant on Vaccines and Immunotherapies for Infectious Diseases and Cancer

摘要 这是一个新的申请，提出了3名研究生和2名研究生的培训计划 针对微生物病原体和癌症的疫苗和免疫疗法方面的博士后研究员。 这项申请的基本原理是利用TJU在该地区的长期经验 在疫苗、治疗和癌症方面，需要这样一个独特的培训机会 费城，并有机会在基础和 病毒和肿瘤免疫的应用方面。TPVIIDC的一个重要特点是 21位导师的不同研究兴趣提供了一个机会，提供一个 综合基础科学、疫苗开发和 治疗学。鉴于还有其他癌症免疫学或疫苗方面的培训计划 对于传染病，从历史上看，这两种高度相关的疾病之间几乎没有相互作用 研究领域。我们强烈认为，我们的计划将通过以下方式帮助提供更好的培训 在不同但相关的癌症和传染病免疫学领域提供机会 疾病。而学生和研究员将在东道主那里度过他们的大部分时间 实验室，辅助机会将使参与的广泛互动成为可能 教职员工，通过共享研讨会、务虚会和课程设置来促进。

Summary This is a new application that proposes a training program for 3 graduate students and 2 postdoctoral fellows in vaccines and immunotherapies against microbial pathogens and cancer. The rationale for this application is to capitalize on the long-term experience of TJU in the area of vaccines, therapeutics and cancer, the need for a such a unique training opportunity in Philadelphia, and the opportunity to develop a “holistic” training experience in both basic and applied aspects of viral and tumor immunity. An important characteristic of the TPVIIDC is that the diversity of research interests of the 21 preceptors affords an opportunity to provide a comprehensive training experience that integrates basic science, vaccine development and therapeutics. Whereas there are other training programs in cancer immunology or vaccines against infectious diseases there is historically little cross-talk between these highly related research areas. We feel strongly that our program will help to provide better training by providing opportunities in different but related areas of immunology of cancer and infectious diseases. While the students and fellows will spend the majority of their time in their host laboratory, ancillary opportunities will enable interaction with a wide range of the participating faculty, facilitated by shared seminars, retreats and course offerings.
