Training in Genetics

产品说明：（由申请人提供）本申请寻求CWRU遗传学研究生培训计划的重新支持，其目标是培养学生成为杰出的独立学者和研究人员，将遗传学作为研究生物和生物医学问题的主要工具。在该计划的哲学的定义元素是广泛的生物体，生物系统，并在培训实验室正在追求的方法。无论学生的研究重点是在人类，分子，或发育遗传学，无论是在果蝇，C。线虫，酵母，小鼠或人类;无论是使用克隆DNA，培养细胞，模式生物或人类家庭，每个学生都有望发展的方法和其他生物或专业正在追求的主题的范围广泛的理解和赞赏。实现这一目标的培训是通过五个主要机制：先进的课程，每周杂志俱乐部，邀请演讲者研讨会计划，学生研究报告，和原创研究。CWRU遗传学研究生培训计划为学生提供了一系列独特的机会。培训实验室位于几个部门，包括遗传学，分子生物学，神经科学，儿科学，医学和麻醉学。该计划提供了广泛的新设施和研究计划，在人类遗传学，分子遗传学，基因组学，基因表达，发育遗传学，染色体结构和功能，基因组作图和组织，定量遗传学和人类疾病的分子和遗传基础，从而提供了一个机会，在遗传学的各个方面，从酵母到C. elegans线虫and Drosophila果蝇to mouse小鼠and humans人类.培训计划由遗传学系管理，其中包括基础科学和临床教师。学生可以通过CWRU的多课程生物医学科学培训计划或直接申请遗传学课程。所有一年级的学生进行一系列不同的研究轮换，并选择在第一年年底在遗传学计划的研究导师（培训师）的实验室。该计划由指导委员会管理，指导委员会由主任和教师培训师组成，每个人都对该计划的具体方面负责。这种在分子，发育和人类遗传学的综合培训计划反映了我们对遗传学多样性的承诺，作为整个生物学和医学的统一主题。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) This application seeks renewed support of the Genetics Graduate Training Program at CWRU, the goal of which is to train students to be outstanding independent scholars and investigators using genetics as a major tool to study biological and biomedical problems. The defining element in the philosophy of the program is the broad range of organisms, biological systems, and approaches being pursued in the training laboratories. Whether a student's research focus is in human, molecular, or developmental genetics; whether in Drosophila, C. elegans, yeast, mouse, or human; whether using cloned DNA, cultured cells, model organisms or human families, each student is expected to develop a broad understanding of and appreciation for the range of approaches and topics being pursued in other organisms or specialties. Training towards this goal is achieved through five primary mechanisms: advanced coursework, a weekly journal club, an invited speaker seminar program, student research presentations, and original research. The CWRU Genetics Graduate Training Program offers a unique range of opportunities for students. Training laboratories are located in several departments, including Genetics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Pediatrics, Medicine and Anesthesiology. The program offers extensive new facilities and research programs in human genetics, molecular genetics, genomics, gene expression, developmental genetics, chromosome structure and function, genome mapping and organization, quantitative genetics and the molecular and genetic basis of human disease, thereby providing an opportunity for integrated training in all aspects of genetics in organisms ranging from yeast to C. elegans and Drosophila to mouse and humans. The training program is administered by the Department of Genetics, which includes both basic science and clinical faculty. Students are admitted either through the multi-program Biomedical Sciences Training Program at CWRU or by direct application to the Genetics Program. All first-year students perform a series of diverse research rotations and select a laboratory with a research mentor (trainer) in the Genetics program at the end of the first year. The program is administered by a Steering Committee consisting of the Director and faculty trainers, each with responsibilities for specific aspects of the program. This integrated training program in molecular, developmental, and human genetics reflects our commitment to the diversity of genetics as a unifying theme across all of biology and medicine.
