EDUCATION AND OUTREACH CORE

教育和外联核心-摘要 圣地亚哥系统生物学中心进行了一系列的招聘，教育和推广 旨在丰富教师、受训人员、专业科学家和公众的活动。具体目标 吸引和教育下一代系统生物学科学家;提供动手技术 在复杂数据集的生成和定量分析方面进行培训;影响公众 包括大学预科教育和代表性不足的少数民族;吸引定量科学人才 汇集到生物学;并建立，丰富和激励在圣地亚哥一个充满活力的系统生物学社区。 这些目标将通过三个具体目标来实现。首先，核心寻求建立和丰富一个 强大，活跃和多样的系统生物学教师在圣地亚哥。为了扩展活跃的系统生物学 SDCSB将在招聘定量生物学新教师方面发挥重要作用 和“经济学”。促进已经在圣地亚哥的调查人员参与新系统 生物研究，我们将继续我们成功的种子赠款计划，使新的实验室竞争， 每年为系统生物学试点项目提供资金。种子基金促成了许多富有成效的合作 在过去，并显着丰富了系统生物学社区在圣地亚哥。第二，核心 将在系统生物学提供广泛的教育机会。SDCSB将继续 为处于各个职业阶段的科学家提供教育机会。系统生物学博士后 研究员计划将通过统一的努力，招聘准备在该领域的下一代领导人， 参与共同指导的SDCSB研究项目的初级科学家。研究生教育已经和 将继续得到两个主要的博士课程的支持：定量生物学（qBio）和生物信息学 系统生物学（BISB）学生将受益于新的黑客实验室，它提供的设施， 在定量生物学中的动手协作实验。传播研究和教育 机会广泛，该中心将继续运行一个成功的会议，研讨会和 研讨会等最后，核心将影响公众对系统生物学及其 对社会的重要性。核心小组支持开展广泛的外联活动， 科学界在教育外行和影响公众舆论方面发挥着作用。我们的公众宣传 该计划与Reuben H.位于圣地亚哥市中心的舰队科学中心， 广泛的社会人口。SDCSB的研究生已经开发了一些动手的生物信息学 支持几个主要科学节的教学活动。我们还将继续组织一个团队， 一年一度的iGEM合成生物学竞赛，从当地一所低收入高中招募学生。

EDUCATION AND OUTREACH CORE – SUMMARY The San Diego Center for Systems Biology conducts an array of recruitment, educational and outreach activities directed to enrich faculty, trainees, professional scientists and the general public. Specific goals are to attract and educate the next generation of systems biology scientists; to provide hands-on technical training in the generation and quantitative analysis of complex data sets; to impact the general public including pre-college education and under-represented minorities; to draw the quantitative sciences talent pool towards biology; and to build, enrich and inspire a vibrant systems biology community in San Diego. These goals will be accomplished through three specific aims. First, the Core seeks to build and enrich a strong, active and diverse systems biology faculty in San Diego. To expand the active systems biology community in San Diego, the SDCSB will play a major role in recruiting new faculty in quantitative biology and `omics sciences. To promote the engagement of investigators already in San Diego in new systems biology research, we will continue our successful seed grant program, which allows new labs to compete annually for funding for systems biology pilot projects. Seed grants have led to many fruitful collaborations in the past and have significantly enriched the systems biology community in San Diego. Second, the Core will provide a broad portfolio of educational opportunities in systems biology. The SDCSB will continue to provide educational opportunities to scientists at all career stages. A new Systems Biology Postdoctoral Fellows Program will prepare the next generation of leaders in the field through a unified effort to recruit junior scientists who engage in co-mentored SDCSB research projects. Graduate education has been and will continue to be supported by two major PhD programs: Quantitative Biology (qBio) and Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BISB). Students will benefit from the new Hacker Lab, which provides facilities for hands-on collaborative experimentation in quantitative biology. To disseminate research and education opportunities widely, the Center will continue to run a successful program of meetings, workshops and seminars. Finally, the Core will impact the general public understanding of systems biology and its importance to society. The Core supports a wide array of outreach activities in recognition of the vital role the scientific community plays in educating lay people and influencing public opinion. Our public outreach program is coordinated with the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in downtown San Diego and caters to a wide social demographic. SDCSB graduate students have developed a number of hand-on bioinformatics teaching activities that support several major science festivals. We will also continue to organize a team for the annual iGEM synthetic biology competition, recruiting from a local low-income high school.
