Cancer Biochemistry and Cell Biology

描述(申请人提供)：癌症生物化学和细胞生物学培训项目的目标是为博士后和博士后学员提供对癌症的全面了解，以增强他们在癌症研究方面的培训经验。培训计划的总部设在部门。石溪大学分子遗传学和微生物学教授，其中9名教师是该培训计划的成员。来自石溪大学、冷泉港实验室和布鲁克海文国家实验室其他系的18名额外教师加入了该计划。该培训计划代表了与癌症相关的广泛研究兴趣，包括细胞周期控制、信号转导、癌症遗传学和细胞凋亡、基因表达调控、DNA复制的细胞周期调控以及蛋白质结构功能分析。该计划为从事癌症研究的博士后学生和博士后研究员提供培训。每名受训人员将获得两至三年的支助。博士前培训计划提供讲座和实验室课程，为学生进行论文研究做准备。只有被提拔为博士候选人的博士前学生才有资格被任命为培训计划的成员。培训计划中的博士后学生和博士后研究员接触到癌症的临床方面，并接触到促进癌症翻译研究的活动。这些活动包括癌症细胞生物学课程，参加血液学/肿瘤学临床研究员计划的会议，以及石溪大学癌症中心赞助的每月会议，临床和基础研究人员、研究员和学生在这些会议上讨论癌症的转化研究机会。博士后和博士后培训环境包括在石溪大学、冷泉港实验室和布鲁克海文国家实验室举行的活跃的研讨会系列、研究专题讨论会和会议。这三个机构为支持这些培训工作提供了世界级的环境。在培训计划中，教职员工之间有许多正式和非正式的互动，而且很明显有广泛的合作项目。该计划提供癌症生物化学和细胞生物学方面的杰出培训，使受训者接触到癌症研究的广阔前景。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Training Program in Cancer Biochemistry and Cell Biology is to provide predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees with a comprehensive orientation to cancer in order to enhance their training experience in cancer research. The Training Program is based in the Dept. of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Stony Brook University, nine of whose faculty are members of the Training Program. Eighteen additional faculty join the Program from other departments at Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The Training Program represents a broad range of research interests related to cancer including cell cycle control, signal transduction, cancer genetics and apoptosis, regulation of gene expression, cell cycle regulation of DNA replication, and protein structure function analysis. The Program trains predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows for a career in cancer research. Each trainee will be supported for a two to three year period. The predoctoral Training Program provides lecture and laboratory courses that prepare students for dissertation research. Only predoctoral students who have been advanced to Ph.D. candidacy are eligible for appointment to the Training Program. Predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in the Training Program are exposed to the clinical side of cancer and to activities that promote translational cancer research. These include a Cancer Cell Biology course, attendance at meetings of the Hematology/Oncology Clinical Fellows Program, and at monthly meetings sponsored by the Stony Brook University Cancer Center where clinical and basic research faculty, fellows and students meet to discuss translational research opportunities in cancer. The training environment for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees includes active seminar series, research symposia and conferences held at Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. These three institutions provide world-class environments in support of these training efforts. There are numerous formal and informal interactions among the faculty in the Training Program and a wide range of collaborative projects are evident. The Program provides outstanding training in cancer biochemistry and cell biology to expose trainees to a broad perspective in cancer research.
