Education, Training, and Outreach Program

为我们的CCSB开发强大的教育组件是一项宏伟的事业，因为GUMC已经 在整个校园内推广系统生物学的研究和教育具有重要意义。 我们已经提供了与CCSB的教育和培训目标直接相关的多种课程。 其中有几项活动是在肿瘤生物学跨学科硕士学位(由Dr。 Hilakivi-Clarke，项目3)，NCI为研究生和博士后研究员提供的肿瘤生物学培训补助金 (T32-CA009686)，以及资助的癌症生物学、预防和控制方面的合作教育计划 哥伦比亚特区大学，历史上的黑人大学(U56-CA101429)。我们还将 与其他CCSB合作，专门针对CCSB成员和 乔治城大学/退伍军人技术大学/fccc社区，以及ICBP计划和 更广泛的科学界。CCSB的教育、培训和外展活动将是 由癌症系统生物学领域公认的专家开发、领导和交付， 乔治城大学和弗吉尼亚理工大学的生物信息学和计算模型。如此之高 教师、他们的背景、培训、正在进行的研究和教育活动的综合小组 建立他们的集体能力，以完成我们在这里提出的活动。

Developing a strong educafional component for our CCSB is a fimely enterprise because GUMC has moved significanfiy in the direcfion of extending research and educafion in systems biology across our enfire campus. We already offer mulfiple programs immediately relevant to the educafional and training goals of this CCSB. Several of these activities occur within an interdisciplinary MS degree in Tumor Biology (directed by Dr. Hilakivi-Clarke, Project 3), a NCI-funded training grant in Tumor Biology for graduate and postdoctoral fellows (T32-CA009686), and a funded collaborative educafion program in cancer biology, prevenfion, and control with the University of the District of Columbia, a Historically Black University (U56-CA101429). We will also collaborate with other CCSBs to extend educafional activities directed specifically to CCSB members and the Georgetown University/VA Tech/FCCC communities, and to those targeted across the ICBP program and the broader scientific community. The educational, training, and outreach activities in this CCSB will be developed, led, and delivered by acknowledged experts in the fields of cancer systems biology, bioinformatics, and computational modeling at Georgetown University and Virginia Tech. This highly integrated group of faculty, their backgrounds, training, ongoing research, and educational activities establish their collective ability to complete the activities we propose here.
