Training Program in Investigative Oncology

描述(由申请者提供)：这里描述的计划将为学术肿瘤学的职业生涯培养博士后研究员。完成内科培训的拥有医学博士学位或医学博士学位的候选人将被录取参加这个为期三年的项目。 该计划的第一年包括在临床肿瘤学的密集经验。在剩下的课程中，学员将把他们的大部分时间投入实验室或临床环境中的研究性研究。研究培训的助学金是由这笔赠款提供的。要完成一项研究项目并成为学术职位的竞争者，往往需要三年以上的培训。受训者和他们的导师在这几年的培训补助金之外还可以获得支持。 对于每个研究员，研究培训将由肿瘤学部的一名全职教员监督，或由斯坦福大学代表与癌症相关的基础科学学科的多名副教员之一监督，这些学科包括生物科学、生物化学、发育生物学、流行病学、遗传学和基因组学、免疫学、病理学、人口科学、造血干细胞移植、疾病预防、生物统计学和生物信息学。在培训结束时，个人将为作为科学和医学肿瘤学前沿的独立调查人员的职业生涯做好准备。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The program described herein will train postdoctoral fellows for a career in academic oncology. Candidates with an MD or both an MD and PhD degrees who have completed training in internal medicine will be admitted to the three-year program. The first year of the program consists of an intensive experience in clinical oncology. During the remainder of the program, the trainees will devote the majority of their time to research-based study, either in the laboratory or in a clinical setting. Fellow stipend support for the research training is provided by this grant. More than three years of training is often required to complete a research project and to become competitive for an academic position. Trainees and their preceptors obtain support beyond this training grant for these additional years. For each fellow, research training will be supervised by a full-time faculty member in the Division of Oncology, or by one of a number of associate faculty members at Stanford University representing the basic science disciplines relevant to cancer, such as biological sciences, biochemistry, developmental biology, epidemiology, genetics and genomics, immunology, pathology, population sciences, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, disease prevention, biostatistics and bioinformatics. At the conclusion of their training, individuals will be prepared for careers as independent investigators at the forefront of science and medical oncology.
