Neurobiology Summer Course

描述(由申请人提供)：马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋生物实验室的夏季神经生物学课程的目标是为有前途的学生提供分子和细胞神经生物学方面的强化培训。这是一门综合性的、以实验室为导向的课程，由来自世界各地的顶尖科学家讲授。该课程每年开设一次，从6月初到7月底，为期8周。这门课程的一个特点是有机会使用最先进的技术与国际公认的神经生物学专家并肩工作。这门课程的一个明确目标是使学生能够使用最先进和最合适的技术进行科学探究。神经生物学课程37年来每年夏天都会举办，在过去的25年里，NIH从未中断过资助。最近对课程大纲的更新确保了它传达了功能基因组学、电生理学、高级光学和电子显微镜、光遗传学和现代神经细胞生物学等领域的尖端技术和实验室实践。公平地说，多年来，许多基础和临床神经生物学的领军人物都以学生或教师的身份参加了这门课程。这门课程目前正在准备继续培养和激励当前的学生成为我们未来的科学创新者和领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Summer Neurobiology Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA is to provide promising students with intensive training in Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology. It is a comprehensive, laboratory oriented course taught by leading scientists from around the globe. The course, offered annually, runs for eight weeks, from the beginning of June to end of July. A hallmark of this course is the opportunity to work side-by-side with internationally recognized experts in neurobiology using state-of-the-art technologies. A stated goal of the course is to empower students to approach scientific inquiry using the most advanced and appropriate technologies available. The Neurobiology Course has been held every summer for 37 years, with uninterrupted NIH funding for the past 25 years. Recent updates to the course curriculum ensure that it is conveying cutting- edge technologies and lab practices in fields that include functional genomics, electrophysiology, advanced light and electron microscopy, optogenetics, and modern neuronal cell biology. It is fair to say that over the years, many leading figures in basic and clinical neurobiology have participated in this course as either students or faculty. The course is currently equipped to continue training and inspiring current students to become our future scientific innovators and leaders.
