Viral Pathogenesis Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：病毒发病机制培训计划旨在为在弗雷德哈钦森癌症研究中心（FHCRC）和华盛顿大学（UW）实验室从事病毒发病机制研究的学员提供一个伞状计划。该培训计划旨在为西雅图地区顶尖的病毒发病学学生提供超越其特定研究生课程的机会。UW和FHCRC在病毒发病机制方面有着丰富的研究历史，包括对各种病毒全球相关病原体的研究，如HIV，流感和致癌（HCV， KHSV， HPV, MCPyV）和机会性（HSV， CMV, AdV）病原体。然而，攻读病毒发病机制研究的博士生分散在华盛顿大学和FHCRC的各种研究生项目和实验室中。该项目将支持正在FHCRC和华盛顿大学研究病毒病原体的学员。合格的受训者将包括所有选择在本培训计划成员的教员实验室中从事病毒发病机制研究的人员。因此，拟建项目的受训者将从现有的几个以病毒学培训为重点的研究生项目中挑选。这个培训项目的特点将包括共同的教学培训，以及学生和教师之间的演讲和其他互动的机会。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。这个共同的焦点将为该培训补助金的学生创建一个保护伞，与现有的部门或项目结构不同。病毒发病机制培训奖助金是西雅图唯一一项专注于一般病毒研究或特定病毒发病机制的培训奖助金。

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.
