Cancer Biology Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：这是印第安纳大学医学院癌症生物学培训项目的新申请，该项目位于印第安纳大学普渡大学印第安纳波利斯校区。该计划的目标是培养博士后和博士后实习生，他们经历了致力于癌症研究的基础科学家和临床医生互动的跨学科环境。该计划的优势包括授课人员和环境的质量以及癌症研究的多样性。这27名教师是印第安纳大学癌症中心和印第安纳大学研究生院的成员。他们在生物化学和分子生物学、细胞和综合生理学、医学和分子遗传学、微生物学和免疫学以及药理学和毒理学等系担任主要或次要职位。一些人还拥有内科、妇产科、儿科、外科或泌尿外科的初级预约。导师们互动性很强，在研究和教学领域都进行了合作。请求为6名博士后和2名博士后实习生提供支助。除了他们的研究，博士后和博士后实习生还将参加每周两次的癌症研讨会系列：基础科学系列和大轮次。受训者将参加印第安纳大学癌症中心细胞生长调节计划和实验治疗计划的月度会议，并在每一年的会议上展示他们的研究成果。此外，受训者将在印第安纳大学癌症中心年度癌症研究日上展示他们的研究成果。所有受训人员都将参加一门科学伦理课程。博士后实习生将成为博士。被招募到个别实验室或参与临床奖学金计划的医学博士。授课要求将根据博士后研究员的特定背景而量身定做。博士前实习生将完成各自系的要求，并完成癌症生物学辅修课程或同等课程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new application for a Cancer Biology Training Program at Indiana University School of Medicine which is located on the Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis campus. The goal of the Program is to produce postdoctoral and predoctoral trainees who have experienced an interdisciplinary environment of interacting basic scientists and clinicians committed to cancer research. Strengths of the Program include the quality of the preceptors and environment and the diversity of cancer research. The twenty-seven preceptors are members of the Indiana University Cancer Center and the Indiana University Graduate School. They have primary or secondary appointments in the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cellular and Integrative Physiology, Medical and Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Immunology, and Pharmacology and Toxicology. Several also have primary appointments in Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Surgery, or Urology. The preceptors are highly interactive, collaborating in both the research and teaching arenas. Support is requested for 6 postdoctoral and 2 predoctoral trainees. In addition to their research, postdoctoral and predoctoral trainees will participate in two weekly cancer seminar series: a basic science series and Grand Rounds. For one year each, the trainees will attend and present their research in a monthly meeting of the Regulation of Cell Growth Program and the Experimental Therapeutics Program of the Indiana University Cancer Center. Also, the trainees will present their research at the Indiana University Cancer Center Annual Cancer Research Day. All trainees will take a course in scientific ethics. Postdoctoral trainees will be Ph.D.s. recruited into individual laboratories or M.D.s participating in the clinical fellowship programs. Requirement of didactic coursework will be tailored to the particular background of the postdoctoral fellow. Predoctoral trainees will fulfill the requirements of their individual departments and complete a Cancer Biology Minor or equivalent coursework.
