Training Program in Mechanisms of Virus-Host Interactions

 描述(由申请人提供)：病毒-宿主相互作用机制培训补助金是一个多学科培训计划，旨在培训和教育博士后和博士后学员在病毒学的广泛学科。该提案要求继续支持病毒学培训方案。教员来自两个研究机构，西奈山伊坎医学院(ISMMS)和纽约大学医学院(NYUSM)。研究培训的重点是向博士后和博士后学员传授独立科学研究所需的理论和实验方法。学生学习病毒复制和宿主对病毒感染反应的分子机制。研究培训领域还包括抗病毒战略和针对医学相关病毒的疫苗开发的新方法。 我们的学员非常成功地获得了独立的研究职位、同行评议的出版物和外部研究资金。因此，需要5个博士后和5个博士后职位。该计划的具体目标是招募高素质的学生和研究员，并为他们提供严格的培训。该计划的持续支持将帮助学员在其发展的所有阶段，包括理解科学方法，解释结果，提出数据和结论，研究道德和职业指导。 通过结合一批杰出的病毒学家的力量，我们创建了世界级的病毒学培训计划。该计划建立在现有合作的基础上，包括研究资助，以及ISMMS和NYUSM教职员工之间的联合出版物。因此，我们的协作培训工作比单一机构或基于个人的倡议具有“附加值”。该计划的教员由28名杰出的病毒学家组成。 他们使用一系列不同的实验策略来研究病毒与其宿主之间的分子、细胞、生化和免疫相互作用。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Mechanism of Virus-Host Interactions Training Grant is a multidisciplinary training program designed to train and educate pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees in the broad discipline of Virology. This proposal requests continued support for the Virology training program. The faculty is derived from two research institutions, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) and the NYU School of Medicine (NYUSM). The research training emphasis is directed toward teaching pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees the theory and experimental approaches required for independent scientific investigations. Students learn the molecular mechanisms involved in virus replication and host responses to viral infections. Research training areas also include novel approaches for antiviral strategies and vaccine development against medically relevant viruses. Our trainees are highly successful in attaining independent research positions, peer-reviewed publications, and extramural research funding. Accordingly, five pre-doctoral and five post-doctoral positions are requested. The specific aim of the program is to recruit and provide rigorous training to high caliber students and fellows. The continued support of this program will aid trainees in all phases of their development including understanding scientific method, interpretation of results, presentation of data and conclusions, research ethics, and career guidance. By combining the strengths of an outstanding group of virologists, we have created a world-class virology training program. This program is built upon existing collaborations, including research grants, and joint publications between faculty members at ISMMS and NYUSM. Accordingly, our collaborative training effort has "added value" over single institution or individual based initiatives. The program faculty consists of twenty- eight outstanding virologists who use a diverse array of experimental strategies to study the molecular, cellular, biochemical and immunological interactions of viruses with their hosts.
