Research Training on Intracellular Pathogens

描述（由申请人提供）：该研究培训计划将在国际合作的背景下进行，旨在为在印度攻读研究生学位课程的国际学员、博士后和教职研究人员提供培训，主要是在新德里的贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁大学（JNU）。该项目旨在提供培训，促进JNU与SBRI/UW研究人员之间的合作，并为JNU及其相互作用的印度研究机构，特别是新德里的国际遗传工程与生物技术中心（ICGEB）提供研究加强。培训方案将与具有全球重要性的传染病研究项目结合进行，这些项目对印度至关重要。培训将强调细胞内病原体的研究培训，重点是利什曼原虫、疟原虫和分枝杆菌。之所以选择这些重点，是因为印度的利什曼病（特别是内脏疾病）、疟疾和结核病问题由于各种原因正在恶化，而且利什曼病和结核病是机会主义，使免疫功能低下的患者处于危险之中。培训将强调实验室实验和生物信息学的结合，并将建立在JNU SBRI/UW研究合作的基础上，并促进新合作的发展。培训将包括过去非常成功的关于隔年的国内讲习班。这些培训将包括实验室和教学培训，并为选择在西雅图进行研究培训的受训人员提供部分依据。以西雅图为基地的培训将为在JNU或UW注册的研究生学位课程的学生提供一部分研究生学位课程的研究要求。西雅图还将为参与国际合作的印度博士后提供培训，并为JNU合作教师的短期工作访问提供培训。培训还将为来自各种国际培训项目（特别是FIC支持的）的受训者提供互动的机会，并包括对这些项目共同的重要领域的培训，如监管和道德方面。印度的伙伴机构将是JNU，以促进更多的研究合作，并利用它与印度其他主要研究机构（如ICGEB）的工作联系。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research-training program will be conducted in the context of international collaborations and is designed to provide training for international trainees who are in graduate degree programs, for postdoctorates and for faculty researchers in India, primarily at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi. The program is designed to provide training, stimulate collaboration between JNU and SBRI/UW researchers, and provide research strengthening for JNU and its interacting Indian research institutions, particularly the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in New Delhi. The training program will be conducted in association with research projects on infectious diseases of global importance and which are of critical importance to India. The training will emphasize research training on intracelluar pathogens with a focus on the Leishmania, Plasmodium, and Mycobacterium. These emphases have been chosen because of the problems of leishmaniasis (especially visceral disease), malaria, and tuberculosis in India are worsening for a variety of reasons and since Leishmania and TB are opportunists, putting immunocompromised patients at risk. Training will highlight the combination of laboratory experimentation and bioinformatics and will build on established JNU SBRI/UW research collaborations and stimulate the development of new ones. The training will include in-country workshops on alternate years that have been so successful in the past. These will include laboratory and didactic training and provide a part of the basis for selecting trainees for a research training experience in Seattle. Seattle-based training will provide for a portion of graduate degree program research requirements for student trainees who are enrolled in graduate degree programs at JNU or at the UW. Training will also be available in Seattle for Indian postdoctorals participating in international collaborations and for short working visits of collaborating JNU faculty. The training will also provide opportunities for interactions among trainees from various international training programs (especially FIC supported) and include training in areas of importance that is common to these programs such as regulatory and ethical aspects. The Indian partner institution will be JNU to stimulate additional research collaborations and to take advantage of its working linkages with other key Indian research institutions such as ICGEB.
