Cancer Biochemistry and Cell Biology

描述(由申请人提供)：癌症生物化学和细胞生物学培训计划在癌症生物学的广泛领域为博士后和博士后研究员提供多学科培训。该计划的总部设在该部门。石溪大学(SBU)分子遗传学和微生物学教授，其中10名教师是该项目的成员。来自石溪、冷泉港实验室(CSHL)和布鲁克海文国家实验室(BNL)其他部门的15名额外教师加入了该计划。该计划代表了与癌症相关的广泛的研究兴趣，包括细胞周期控制、信号转导、癌症遗传学和细胞凋亡、基因表达调控、细胞周期DNA复制调控和蛋白质结构-功能分析。该计划为从事癌症研究的博士生和博士后研究员提供培训。每名受训人员将获得两至三年的支助。博士前培训计划提供讲座和实验室课程，为学生进行论文研究做准备。学生们将接触到癌症的临床方面，以及促进癌症翻译研究的活动。只有被提拔为博士候选人的学生才有资格被录用。将为博士后研究员制定一个重新组织的培训计划。这将包括癌症细胞生物学课程，出席肿瘤学临床研究员计划的定期会议，以及石溪癌症中心赞助的每月会议，临床和基础研究人员在这些会议上促进癌症的转化研究。为博士后和博士后实习生提供的培训环境包括在SBU、CSHL和BNL举办的活跃的研讨会系列、研究研讨会和会议。要求提供初步支助，以便在五年培训期间每年培训7名博士后研究员和4名博士后研究员。培训计划的总体目标是为赞助机构的研究员提供癌症生物学方面的广泛培训和一系列教育和研究机会。SBU、CSHL和BNL提供世界级的实验室和全方位的核心服务，以支持这些努力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cancer Biochemistry and Cell Biology Training Program provides multidisciplinary training for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows in the broad area of cancer biology. The Program is based in the Dept. of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Stony Brook University (SBU), 10 of whose faculty are members of the Program. Fifteen additional faculty join the Program from other departments at Stony Brook, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The Program represents a broad range of research interests related to cancer including cell cycle control, signal transduction, cancer genetics and apoptosis, regulation of gene expression, cell cycle regulation of DNA replication, and protein structure-function analysis. The Program trains Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows for a career in cancer research. Each trainee will be supported for a two to three year period. The predoctoral Training Program provides lecture and laboratory courses that prepare students for dissertation research. Students are exposed to the clinical side of cancer and to activities that promote translational cancer research. Only students who have been advanced to Ph.D. candidacy are eligible for appointment. A reorganized Training Program will be instituted for postdoctoral fellows. This will include a Cancer Cell Biology course, attendance at regular meetings of the Oncology Clinical Fellows Program, and at monthly meetings sponsored by the Stony Brook Cancer Center where clinical and basic research faculty meet to promote translational research in cancer. The training environment for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees includes active seminar series, research symposia and conferences held at SBU, CSHL, and BNL. Initial support is requested to train seven predoctoral and four postdoctoral fellows for each year in the five year training period. The overall goal of the Training Program is to provide broad training in cancer biology and a range of educational and research opportunities for fellows at the sponsoring institutions. SBU, CSHL and BNL provide world-class laboratories and a full range of core services in support of these efforts.
