Viral Pathogenesis Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：病毒致病培训计划是为在弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心(FHCRC)和华盛顿大学(UW)的实验室进行病毒致病研究的受训人员提供的伞形计划。该培训计划旨在为西雅图地区顶尖的病毒致病学学生增加机会，超越他们特定的研究生课程所提供的机会。UW和FHCRC在病毒致病方面有丰富的研究历史，包括对多种病毒全球相关病原体的研究，如HIV、流感和致癌(丙型肝炎病毒、KHSV、HPV、MCPyV)和机会性(HSV、CMV、ADV)病原体。然而，寻求病毒致病机理研究的博士前学生分散在威斯康星大学和华威大学的各种研究生项目和实验室中。该计划将支持在FHCRC和UW研究病毒病原体的学员。符合条件的受训者将包括所有选择在教员实验室从事病毒致病研究的人，他们是本培训计划的成员。因此，拟议项目的受训人员将从几个现有的研究生项目中挑选出来，这些项目的重点是病毒学培训。这一培训计划的特点将包括共同的教学培训以及学生和教职员工之间的陈述和其他互动的机会。参与实验室研究的病毒的多样性将增加该计划的广度，同时在所有参与实验室中保持对病毒引起的疾病的总体关注。这一共同的重点将为这一培训补助金的学生创造一个有别于现有部门或计划结构的保护伞。病毒致病培训助学金是西雅图唯一一项专注于一般病毒研究或特别是病毒致病机制的培训助学金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Viral Pathogenesis Training Program was created to provide an umbrella program for trainees pursuing research in viral pathogenesis in laboratories at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and University of Washington (UW). This training program is designed to enhance opportunities for the top viral pathogenesis students in the Seattle area beyond those provided by their specific graduate program. The UW and FHCRC have a rich history of research in viral pathogenesis, including the study of a diverse array of viral globally relevant pathogens such as HIV, Influenza and oncogenic (HCV, KHSV, HPV, MCPyV) and opportunistic (HSV, CMV, AdV) pathogens. However, predoctoral students pursing studies of viral pathogenesis are dispersed among a variety of graduate programs and laboratories at UW and FHCRC. This program will support trainees who are studying viral pathogens at both FHCRC and UW. Eligible trainees will include all of those who chose to pursue research in viral pathogenesis in the laboratories of faculty who are members of this training program. Thus, trainees for the proposed program will be drawn from several existing graduate programs that have training in virology as one are of emphasis. Features of this training program will include common didactic training as well as opportunities for presentations and other interactions among students and faculty. The diversity in the viruses studied among participating labs will add breadth to the program, while maintaining an overarching focus on virus-induced diseases among all the participating labs. This common focus will create an umbrella for the students of this training grant that is distinct from existin departmental or program structures. The Viral Pathogenesis Training Grant is the only training grant in Seattle that is focused on virus research in general or viral pathogenesis in particular.
