Cancer Biochemistry and Cell Biology

简介（由申请人提供）：癌症生物化学和细胞生物学培训项目的目标是为博士生和博士后提供全面的癌症研究方向，以提高他们在癌症研究方面的培训经验。该培训项目以石溪大学分子遗传学和微生物学系为基础，其中9名教师是该培训项目的成员。另外18名来自石溪大学其他院系、冷泉港实验室和布鲁克海文国家实验室的教师加入了该项目。该培训计划代表了与癌症相关的广泛研究兴趣，包括细胞周期控制，信号转导，癌症遗传学和凋亡，基因表达调控，DNA复制的细胞周期调控和蛋白质结构功能分析。该项目为从事癌症研究的博士生和博士后提供培训。每个培训生将获得两到三年的支持。博士前培训计划提供讲座和实验课程，为学生的论文研究做准备。只有获得博士学位的博士生才有资格参加培训计划。培训项目的博士生和博士后将接触到癌症的临床方面，并参与促进转化癌症研究的活动。这些课程包括癌症细胞生物学课程，参加血液学/肿瘤学临床研究员计划会议，以及由石溪大学癌症中心主办的每月会议，临床和基础研究教师，研究员和学生聚会讨论癌症的转化研究机会。在石溪大学、冷泉港实验室和布鲁克海文国家实验室，博士生和博士后的培训环境包括积极的系列研讨会、研究专题讨论会和会议。这三所机构为支持这些培训工作提供了世界一流的环境。在培训项目中，教师之间有大量的正式和非正式的互动，广泛的合作项目是显而易见的。该项目在癌症生物化学和细胞生物学方面提供优秀的培训，使受训者在癌症研究方面有广阔的视野。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Training Program in Cancer Biochemistry and Cell Biology is to provide predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees with a comprehensive orientation to cancer in order to enhance their training experience in cancer research. The Training Program is based in the Dept. of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at Stony Brook University, nine of whose faculty are members of the Training Program. Eighteen additional faculty join the Program from other departments at Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The Training 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 predoctoral 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. Only predoctoral students who have been advanced to Ph.D. candidacy are eligible for appointment to the Training Program. Predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in the Training Program are exposed to the clinical side of cancer and to activities that promote translational cancer research. These include a Cancer Cell Biology course, attendance at meetings of the Hematology/Oncology Clinical Fellows Program, and at monthly meetings sponsored by the Stony Brook University Cancer Center where clinical and basic research faculty, fellows and students meet to discuss translational research opportunities in cancer. The training environment for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees includes active seminar series, research symposia and conferences held at Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. These three institutions provide world-class environments in support of these training efforts. There are numerous formal and informal interactions among the faculty in the Training Program and a wide range of collaborative projects are evident. The Program provides outstanding training in cancer biochemistry and cell biology to expose trainees to a broad perspective in cancer research.
