Biometric-Genetic Analysis of Cardiovascular Disease

描述（由申请人提供）： 该计划将提供专门在统计遗传分析和遗传流行病学领域的博士前和博士后培训，并应用于心血管和肺部疾病风险因素的研究。 在前17年只提供博士后培训后，该计划于2000年扩大到提供博士前和博士后培训，并将继续提供这两种类型的培训。 博士前培训将是为博士。通过遗传和分子流行病学系获得流行病学和生物统计学学位。 博士后学生最重要的培训模式是与教师进行合作研究：方法论研究（使用数学推导或计算机模拟）和/或使用计算机通过数据分析进行实质性研究;在后一种情况下，将与应用领域的知名研究人员进行强有力的互动。 所有受训人员将参加定期安排的研讨会和某些讲座和/或阅读课程，包括生物伦理学必修课。 该计划的一个特别特点将是国际知名的存在 生物统计学家/遗传学家/遗传流行病学家作为访问者，为期几天至一周，在其特定专业领域举办研讨会和短期课程，并与受训者谈论其研究项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program will provide predoctoral and postdoctoral training specifically in the areas of statistical genetic analysis and genetic epidemiology, with applications to the study of risk factors for cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. After providing only postdoctoral training for the first seventeen years, the program was expanded in 2000 to provide both predoctoral and postdoctoral training and will continue to provide both types of training. Predoctoral training will be for the Ph.D. degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics through the Division of Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology. The most important mode of training for postdoctoral students will be that of conducting collaborative research with faculty: methodological research (using mathematical derivations or computer simulations) and/or substantive research by means of data analysis, using a computer; in the latter case, there will be strong interaction with established research workers in the areas of application. All trainees will attend regularly scheduled seminars and certain lecture and/or reading courses, including mandatory lectures in bioethics. A particular feature of the program will be the presence of intemationally known biostatisticians/geneticists/genetic epidemiologists as visitors, for periods of a few days to a week, giving seminars and short courses in their particular fields of specialty and talking to the trainees about their research projects.
