Training in Genetics

描述：（由申请人提供）本申请寻求CWRU遗传学研究生培训计划的再次支持，该计划的目标是培养学生成为杰出的独立学者和研究者，将遗传学作为研究生物学和生物医学问题的主要工具。该计划哲学的定义要素是在培训实验室中所追求的广泛的生物体，生物系统和方法。学生的研究重点是人类遗传学、分子遗传学还是发育遗传学；无论是果蝇、秀丽隐杆线虫、酵母、小鼠还是人类；无论是使用克隆DNA，培养细胞，模式生物还是人类家庭，每个学生都应该对其他生物或专业所追求的方法和主题范围有广泛的理解和欣赏。实现这一目标的培训通过五个主要机制：高级课程，每周期刊俱乐部，邀请演讲者研讨会计划，学生研究报告和原创研究。CWRU遗传学研究生培训计划为学生提供了一系列独特的机会。培训实验室位于多个部门，包括遗传学，分子生物学，神经科学，儿科，医学和麻醉学。该项目在人类遗传学、分子遗传学、基因组学、基因表达、发育遗传学、染色体结构和功能、基因组定位和组织、数量遗传学以及人类疾病的分子和遗传基础方面提供了广泛的新设施和研究项目，从而为从酵母菌到秀丽隐杆线虫、果蝇到小鼠和人类的生物遗传学的各个方面提供了综合培训的机会。该培训项目由遗传学部门管理，该部门包括基础科学和临床教师。学生可以通过CWRU的多项目生物医学科学培训计划或直接申请遗传学计划被录取。所有的一年级学生都要进行一系列不同的研究轮转，并在第一年结束时在遗传学项目中选择一个有研究导师（培训师）的实验室。该计划由一个指导委员会管理，该委员会由主任和教员培训师组成，每个人都负责该计划的特定方面。分子，发育和人类遗传学的综合培训计划反映了我们对遗传学多样性的承诺，将其作为所有生物学和医学的统一主题。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) This application seeks renewed support of the Genetics Graduate Training Program at CWRU, the goal of which is to train students to be outstanding independent scholars and investigators using genetics as a major tool to study biological and biomedical problems. The defining element in the philosophy of the program is the broad range of organisms, biological systems, and approaches being pursued in the training laboratories. Whether a student's research focus is in human, molecular, or developmental genetics; whether in Drosophila, C. elegans, yeast, mouse, or human; whether using cloned DNA, cultured cells, model organisms or human families, each student is expected to develop a broad understanding of and appreciation for the range of approaches and topics being pursued in other organisms or specialties. Training towards this goal is achieved through five primary mechanisms: advanced coursework, a weekly journal club, an invited speaker seminar program, student research presentations, and original research. The CWRU Genetics Graduate Training Program offers a unique range of opportunities for students. Training laboratories are located in several departments, including Genetics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Pediatrics, Medicine and Anesthesiology. The program offers extensive new facilities and research programs in human genetics, molecular genetics, genomics, gene expression, developmental genetics, chromosome structure and function, genome mapping and organization, quantitative genetics and the molecular and genetic basis of human disease, thereby providing an opportunity for integrated training in all aspects of genetics in organisms ranging from yeast to C. elegans and Drosophila to mouse and humans. The training program is administered by the Department of Genetics, which includes both basic science and clinical faculty. Students are admitted either through the multi-program Biomedical Sciences Training Program at CWRU or by direct application to the Genetics Program. All first-year students perform a series of diverse research rotations and select a laboratory with a research mentor (trainer) in the Genetics program at the end of the first year. The program is administered by a Steering Committee consisting of the Director and faculty trainers, each with responsibilities for specific aspects of the program. This integrated training program in molecular, developmental, and human genetics reflects our commitment to the diversity of genetics as a unifying theme across all of biology and medicine.
