Immunology and Immunooncology Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：这是免疫肿瘤学培训补助金的竞争性更新，已经存在了30多年。有了这个工具，我们提供高质量的培训先进的博士前和博士后学生谁渴望职业生涯作为独立的研究人员在免疫肿瘤学和免疫学。现代生物学的广泛培训提供了特别强调遗传，分子，细胞生物学和结构方法，以解决免疫肿瘤学和免疫学问题。该培训补助金是由微生物学和免疫学，生物化学，细胞生物学，发育和分子生物学，妇科肿瘤学，核医学，OB/GYN，病理学和儿科学等部门的22名教师进行培训和研究的重点。我们的研究和培训环境的一个重要组成部分是我们完善的AECOM癌症中心，由I博士领导。大卫高曼。我们的教练都是会员。我们的博士预科课程在苏戈尔丁研究生院的指导方针内运作。该计划包含一个仔细的招生过程的基本要素，基础课程的核心，其次是免疫学专业课程，并辅以研讨会，期刊俱乐部，工作进展会议，外部发言人，以及对每个学生的研究计划的密切监督在博士前和博士后水平。贝尔弗高级生物医学研究所的建立确保了博士后研究员的特殊关注得到解决，涉及他们的研究经验和职业机会。我们的培训计划的最重要的特点是在实验室密集的工作，由博士前和博士后学员，从抵达开始，并在整个密切监督下继续。我们的计划还包括在共享设施中包含的相关仪器的培训，包括杂交实验室设施，流式细胞仪设施，转基因小鼠和干细胞设施，X射线晶体学和分子建模，肽合成和蛋白质测序，寡核苷酸合成和DNA测序以及微阵列设施。在接下来的5年里，我们强调继续重视癌症相关研究，并将新的重点放在转化和临床研究上。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal of a training grant in immuno-oncology that has been in existence for over 30 years. With this vehicle we provide high quality training for advanced predoctoral and postdoctoral students who desire careers as independent investigators in immuno-oncology and immunology. Broad training in modern biology is offered with special emphasis on genetic, molecular, cell biological and structural approaches to the solution of problems in immuno-oncology and immunology. This training grant is a focus for training and research by 22 faculty members in the Departments of Microbiology & Immunology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Developmental and Molecular Biology, Gynecologic Oncology, Nuclear Medicine, OB/GYN, Pathology and Pediatrics. A vital component of our research and training environment is our well-established AECOM Cancer Center headed by Dr. I. David Goldman. All our trainers are members. Our predoctoral program operates within the guidelines of the Sue Golding Graduate School. The program contains the essential elements of a careful admissions process, a core of basic courses followed by specialized courses in immunology and supplemented with seminars, journal clubs, work-in-progress sessions, outside speakers, as well as close supervision of the research program for each student at both predoctoral and postdoctoral level. Establishment of the Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Studies assures that the special concerns of postdoctoral associates are addressed concerning their research experience and career opportunities. The most important feature of our training program is the intensive work in the laboratory by predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees that starts with arrival and continues under close supervision throughout. Our program also features training in relevant instrumentation contained in shared facilities including a Hybridoma facility, FACS facility, transgenic mouse and stem cell facility, X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling, peptide synthesis and protein sequencing, oligonucleotide synthesis and DNA sequencing and microarrray facilities. For the next 5 years, we stress continued emphasis on cancer relevant research and a new focus on translational and clinical research.
