SERCEB Individual Career Development Support Program

为了响应国家努力提高生物防御（BD）和新出现的传染病教育质量， 疾病（EID）研究，SERCEB要求资金，以进一步发展有前途的初级职业 从事BD和EID研究的研究人员。这一点尤其重要，现在作为博士后学员， 初级教员发现很难在生物医学科学领域从事独立的职业。 在BD/EID研究中培训新研究人员的需要是不可否认的和紧迫的。专门知识 由于资金、生物防护设施和职业道路方面的限制， 研究人员在选择代理和新兴的感染。最近发生的事件与 需要培养复制，发病机制，免疫学， 诊断、检测、预防和治疗潜在的生物恐怖主义因子和新出现的感染 这也可能成为新的威胁。基因组学、蛋白质组学、细胞与分子生物学的最新进展 生物学、疫苗开发和测试、小分子测试和治疗提供了重要的新技术， 快速推进对这些关键人类病原体的了解的途径。

In response to national efforts to improve the quality of education in biodefense (BD) and emerging infectious diseases (EID) research, SERCEB requests funding to further develop careers of promising junior investigators working on BD and EID research. This is especially important now as postdoctoral trainees and junior faculty are finding it difficult to move into independent careers in biomedical sciences. The need to train new investigators in research in BD/EID is both undeniable and urgent. Expertise has been limited in most institutions due to constraints in funding, biocontainment facilities and career paths for investigators in select agents and emerging infections. Recent events have brought into sharp contrast the need to develop highly skilled investigators of all career stages in the replication, pathogenesis, immunology, diagnosis, detection, prevention and treatment of potential agents of bioterrorism and emerging infections that might also emerge as new threats. Recent advances in genomics, proteomics, cell and molecular biology, vaccine development and testing, small molecule testing and therapeutics provide important new pathways for rapid advancement in understanding of these critical human pathogens.
