CELL ADHESION AND EFFECTS ON CELL BEHAVIOR

描述(申请人描述)：这是一个更新申请的7个职位，博士后培训在细胞，分子和结构生物学在“细胞黏附和影响细胞的行为”领域。这17名教官是该研究所四个科学项目的成员。这些课程是细胞外基质和细胞黏附、发育神经生物学、糖生物学和干细胞生物学。培训计划的扩大是研究所数量和质量增长的结果，也是在挑选和培训从事生物医学研究的博士后研究员方面日益成功的结果。受训人员的任期为1-2年，之后他们应有资格从其他资金来源申请进一步的博士后培训，或申请独立的职位和资金。伯纳姆研究所配备了最先进的研究技术，并拥有通过胚胎干细胞同源重组进行基因打靶、转基因小鼠生产和其他动物实验、DNA合成和自动DNA测序、电子和共聚焦显微镜、结晶学、核磁共振和计算的设施。伯纳姆研究所目前有120名博士后研究员正在接受为期2-5年的培训。一系列正式和非正式研讨会是对实验室培训的补充。准科学研讨会的主题包括时间管理、公开演讲、基金撰写、监督和科学的伦理方面，作为研究培训的补充，并为受训人员的独立职业生涯做好准备。

DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Description): This is a renewal application for 7 positions for postdoctoral training in cell-, molecular-, and structural biology in the area of "cell adhesion and effects on cell behavior." The 17 preceptors are members of four scientific programs at the Institute. These programs are Extracellular Matrix and Cell Adhesion, Developmental Neurobiology, Glycobiology, and Stem Cell Biology. The expansion of the Training Program is a consequence of the quantitative and qualitative growth of the Institute and the increasing success in selecting and training postdoctoral fellows for a career in biomedical research. The trainees are selected for 1-2 years of tenure, after which they should either be qualified to apply for further postdoctoral training from other funding sources or to apply for independent positions and funding. The Burnham Institute is very well equipped for state-of-the-art research techniques, and has facilities for gene targeting through homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, for transgenic mouse production and other animal experiments, for DNA synthesis and automatic DNA sequencing, for electron- and confocal microscopy, for crystallography, NMR, and computing. The Burnham Institute currently has 120 post- doctoral fellows in training for periods of 2-5 years. Series of formal and informal seminars complement the laboratory training. Parascientific seminars on topics such as time management, public speaking, grant writing, supervising, and ethical aspects of science complement the research training and prepare the trainees for independent careers.
