Training in Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划由格鲁吉亚大学（UGA）热带和新兴全球疾病中心（CTEGD）提出，旨在培养生物信息学，生物化学，遗传学，分子生物学，细胞生物学和免疫学领域的生物医学调查人员，这些领域与寄生虫病原体，其宿主及其载体的实验室和实地研究有关。CTEGD是一个多学科的科学家/教育工作者小组，他们在这些领域富有成效地工作，并分享研究和培训学员的统一概念。该概念基于严格的培训，传授：对生物科学的广泛理解;重点研究的深入培训;以及欣赏寄生虫病全球方面的观点。ICTEGD的宗旨是，研究这些疾病的生物医学科学家应该在其学科中有所成就，能够在更大的全球背景下理解和联系他们的研究，他们的研究可能会产生额外的影响。该培训补助金将利用细胞生物学，医学微生物学和寄生虫学，昆虫学，微生物学和遗传学部门内的生物医学科学培训的广度。我们的深入研究培训部分将提供机会，在遗传，生物信息学，分子，生物化学，细胞生物学和寄生虫或宿主/寄生虫关系的免疫学方面与任何13个高素质，资助，经验丰富的CTEGD教师。可供研究的研究系统包括疟疾、隐孢子虫病、环孢子虫病、美洲和非洲锥虫病、利什曼病、弓形体病、鱼类的多丝小瓜虫病、寄生虫病、血吸虫病、囊虫病、淋巴丝虫病以及库蚊、按蚊和硬蜱病媒。通过课程，研讨会系列，期刊俱乐部，年度研讨会，重点务虚会和独特的板凳和海外机会，学员将了解寄生虫学的方面以外的自己的研究重点和研究诚信。要求提供5年资金，每年支持4名博士前和3名博士后学员。上级学员将由CTEGD教师根据学术记录，推荐，标准化测试，先前的研究经验以及对该领域科学事业的承诺从全国申请人中选出。我们的招聘将积极主动地寻求在生物医学科学中代表性不足的优秀学生。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program is proposed by the Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (CTEGD) of the University of Georgia (UGA) to develop 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 their vectors. CTEGD is a multi-disciplinary group of scientists/educators who work productively in these areas and share a unifying concept of the research and education of trainees. The concept is based on a rigorous training that imparts: a broad understanding of the biosciences; in depth training in focused research; and the perspectives to appreciate global aspects of parasitic diseases. ICTEGD is founded on this tenet that biomedical scientists who study these diseases should be accomplished in their discipline and able to understand and relate their research in the greater global context, where their research may have an additional impact. This training grant will draw on the breadth of biomedical science training within the Departments of Cellular Biology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Entomology, Microbiology, and Genetics. Our in-depth research training component will provide opportunities in genetic, bioinformatic, molecular, biochemical, cell biologic and immunologic aspects of parasites or host/parasite relationships with any of the 13 highly qualified, funded, experienced CTEGD faculty members. The research systems available for study include malaria, cryptosporidiosis, cyclosporiasis, American and African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) of fish, parasitic insects, schistosomiasis, cysticercosis, lymphatic filariasis, and culicine, anopheline and ixodid vectors. Through courses, a seminar series, a journal club, an annual symposium, focused retreats and unique bench and overseas opportunities, trainees will learn about aspects of parasitology outside of their own research focus and research integrity. Funding is requested for 5 years to support 4 predoctoral and 3 post-doctoral trainees per year. Superior trainees will be selected by the CTEGD faculty 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. Our recruitment will pro-actively seek excellent students underrepresented in the biomedical sciences.
