Functional Genomics Training Program (FGTP)

项目摘要 这个新的功能基因组学培训计划（FGTP）的目标是提供 博士前学生的综合培训，包括基础研究， 生物信息学、临床遗传学和伦理学。基因组学已经成为研究的基础 人类遗传疾病的研究，我们看到了一个正式的培训计划的迫切需要， 特别是随着对人类基因组学和精确医学的兴趣不断增长， 在CWRU的学生和申请人中成长。通过这种综合模式， 我们的目标是赋予学生一个专业的技能至关重要的引进和塑造 精准医疗的新时代，以高效和负责任的方式。到 为了实现这一培训目标，我们组建了一个资金充足的有凝聚力的导师小组， 在以下五个重点领域提供相关的基因组学专门知识：（1）机制和 人类遗传疾病的治疗，（2）染色质、调节元件和RNA，（3） 生物信息学和生物统计学，（4）癌症遗传学，（5）临床遗传学，遗传学 咨询和道德。培训将包括课程作业和实践培训， 基因组学和生物信息学，沿着临床导向的培训，学生 跟踪临床医生，观察遗传咨询会议，并遵循临床诊断 例此外，由于必须确保我们在道德和社会方面培养一个 负责任的下一代生物医学科学家，我们的培训模式也将纳入 伦理和功能基因组学研究的潜在社会影响，包括 基因组编辑CWRU，有两个关键部门，最近采购了大量的 再投资（遗传学和基因组科学，人口和定量健康 科学），人类遗传学临床中心，遗传咨询计划，遗传学 诊断实验室和两家大医院（大学医院和克利夫兰诊所），所有 位于1英里半径内，为我们的计划提供了一个理想的培训中心。我们认为 这项新计划将对研究生教育产生重大而持续的影响， CWRU作为一个工具，统一功能基因组学研究在整个 大学和大东北俄亥俄州。

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of this new Functional Genomics Training Program (FGTP) is to provide predoctoral students with an integrative training that encompasses basic research, bioinformatics, clinical genetics, and ethics. Genomics has become the basis for the study of human genetic disease, and we see a critical need for a formalized training program, especially as interest in human genomics and precision medicine has grown and continues to grow among students and the applicant pool at CWRU. Through this integrative model, we aim to empower students with a specialized skillset critical for ushering in and shaping the new era of precision medicine in both an efficient and responsible manner. To accomplish this training goal, we assembled a well-funded cohesive group of mentors with relevant genomics expertise in the following five key focus areas: (1) Mechanisms and Treatment of Human Genetic Disease, (2) Chromatin, Regulatory Elements, and RNA, (3) Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, (4) Cancer Genetics, (5) Clinical Genetics, Genetic Counseling and Ethics. Training will include coursework and hands on training in functional genomics and bioinformatics, along with clinically oriented training in which students shadow clinicians, observe genetic counseling sessions, and follow clinical diagnostic cases. Furthermore, as it is imperative to ensure that we train an ethically and socially responsible next generation of biomedical scientists, our training model will also incorporate ethics and the potential societal implications of functional genomics research, including genome editing. CWRU, with two key Departments that recently procured large reinvestments (Genetics and Genome Sciences, Population and Quantitative Health Sciences), a Clinical Center for Human Genetics, a Genetic Counseling Program, Genetics Diagnostic Labs, and two major hospitals (University Hospitals and the Cleveland Clinic), all located within a 1 mile radius, provides an ideal training hub for our program. We believe that this new program will have a significant and sustained impact on graduate education at CWRU by serving as a vehicle for uniting functional genomics research across the University and greater Northeast Ohio.
