Training in Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases

描述（由申请人提供）：格鲁吉亚大学热带和新兴全球疾病中心（CTEGD）提议继续支持其成功的生物医学研究人员培训计划，该培训计划涉及生物信息学、生物化学、遗传学、分子生物学、细胞生物学和免疫学领域，与寄生虫病原体及其宿主和载体的实验室和实地研究有关。CTEGD成立的宗旨是，为了实现充分的影响，研究这些疾病的科学家应该在他们的学科中完成，跨学科合作，并在更大的全球背景下理解他们的研究。因此，我们的教育理念基于严格的培训，提供对生物科学的广泛了解、重点研究领域的深入培训以及了解寄生虫病在全球医疗和公共卫生实施层面构成的挑战的观点。这项培训补助金继续利用细胞生物学、传染病、昆虫学、微生物学、食品科学和技术、生物化学和分子生物学以及遗传学等系的广泛培训机会。19个资金充足，经验丰富的CTEGD教师的研究计划提供寄生虫生物学和宿主/寄生虫关系的许多方面的培训。可供研究的研究系统包括疟疾、肠道原生动物、恰加斯病、非洲昏睡病、利什曼病、弓形体病、多丝小瓜虫、血吸虫病、淋巴丝虫病、寄生虫和库蚊、按蚊和硬蜱病媒。通过课程，研讨会系列（期刊俱乐部和研究进展），基础广泛的讲座，年度研讨会和独特的海外机会，学员拓宽了他们的寄生虫学超越他们的具体研究重点的观点。这包括在板凳上和在外地负责任的研究实践的深入讨论。要求提供5年资金，每年支持6名博士前和3名博士后学员。将根据学习记录、推荐、标准化测试、先前的研究经验和对该领域科学事业的承诺，从全国申请者中竞争性地选出优秀的上级学员。 相关性（参见说明）：人类和兽医寄生虫病是世界上许多地方的主要疾病，培训下一代科学家将使用今天和明天的工具来应对这些疾病至关重要。该培训计划不仅培养高素质的学员进行尖端研究，还拓宽了他们的视野，使他们能够与翻译和业务研究人员进行交流，以推动科学和地球仪的公共卫生措施

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (CTEGD) of the University of Georgia proposes the continuation of support for its successful training program for biomedical investigators in the areas of bioinformatics, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology and immunology related to laboratory and field research on parasitic pathogens, their hosts and vectors. CTEGD is founded on the tenet that to achieve full impact scientists who study these diseases should be accomplished in their discipline, cooperate across disciplinary boundaries, and understand their research in the greater global context. Accordingly our educational concept is based on rigorous training that imparts broad understanding of the biosciences, in depth training in a focused area of research, and perspectives to appreciate the challenge parasitic diseases pose at the level of global medical and public health implementation. This training grant continues to draw on the breadth of training opportunities within the Departments of Cellular Biology, Infectious Diseases, Entomology, Microbiology, Food Science and Technology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Genetics. The research programs of 19 well funded and highly experienced CTEGD faculty members provides training in many aspects of parasite biology and host/parasite relationships. The research systems available for study include malaria, intestinal protozoans, Chagas disease, African sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, parasitoid insects and culicine, anopheline and ixodid vectors. Through courses, a seminar series (Journal Club and Research in Progress), broad-based lectureships, annual symposia, and unique overseas opportunities, trainees broaden their view of parasitology beyond their specific research focus. This includes in-depth discussions of responsible research practices at the bench and in the field. Funding is requested for 5 years to support 6 predoctoral and 3 post-doctoral trainees per year. Superior trainees will be selected competitively from a national pool of applicants based on scholastic records, recommendations, standardized testing, prior research experience and commitment to a scientific career in this field. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Human and veterinary parasitic diseases are major scourges of much of the world, and training the next generation of scientists who will use today's and tomorrow's tools to tackle these diseases is of paramount importance. This Training Program not only trains quality trainees in cutting-edge research, it also broadens their perspectives so they are able to interface with translational and operational researchers to push forward both scientifically and in regard to public health measures around the globe
