Environmental Genomics

描述（由申请人提供） 这是南加州大学“环境基因组学”T32培训补助金的延续，旨在为五名博士前和三名博士后学员提供多学科教育和研究培训。 博士学位候选人，该计划涉及课程工作的基础上，我们现有的博士严格的计划。流行病学，分子流行病学，统计遗传学和遗传流行病学，生物统计学学位课程，具有一套明确的核心知识，旨在弥合这些不同的领域。 在博士后阶段，重点是在该国领先的研究部门之一的研究经验，在环境流行病学，遗传学，生物统计学和生物信息学以及一流的导师队伍中获得广泛的资助支持。 调查人员的目标是 通过将实地研究、分子技术以及统计和生物信息学工具方面的专业知识结合起来，使学员在这一快速发展的领域中担任领导职务。 公共卫生相关性：下一代环境卫生调查人员将需要广泛的多学科培训。 研究人员的目标是为博士前和博士后学员提供环境，遗传和分子流行病学，生物统计学和生物信息学方面的培训，以成为调查从环境暴露到人类疾病的复杂途径的主要研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) This is a renewal of the University of Southern California T32 training grant in "Environmental Genomics," aimed at providing multidisciplinary education and research training for five pre-doctoral and three postdoctoral trainees. For Ph.D. candidates, the Program involves a rigorous program of course work based on our existing Ph.D. degree programs in Epidemiology, Molecular Epidemiology, Statistical Genetics & Genetic Epidemiology, and Biostatistics, with a well defined set of core knowledge aimed a bridging these various fields. At the postdoctoral level, the emphasis is on research experience within one of the leading research departments in the country, with extensive portfolios of grant support in environmental epidemiology, genetics, biostatistics, and bioinformatics and superb faculty for mentorship. The investigators' goal is to position their trainees for leadership positions in this rapidly evolving field, by bringing togethr expertise in field studies, molecular techniques, and statistical and bioinformatic tools. Public Health Relevance: The next generation of investigators in environmental health will need broad multidisciplinary training. The investigators aim to provide pre- and postdoctoral trainees with training in environmental, genetic, and molecular epidemiology, biostatistics, and bioinformatics to become leading investigators investigating the complex pathways that lead from environmental exposures to disease in human populations.
