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Fred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总括计划。这个培训计划的目的是提高在西雅图地区的顶级病毒发病机制的学生超出了他们的具体研究生课程提供的机会。UW和FHCRC在病毒发病机制方面有着丰富的研究历史，包括对多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，从事病毒发病机制研究的博士前学生分散在UW和FHCRC的各种研究生课程和实验室中。该计划将支持正在FHCRC和UW研究病毒病原体的学员。合格的学员将包括所有选择在本培训计划成员的教师实验室进行病毒发病机制研究的人员。因此，拟议计划的受训人员将从几个现有的研究生课程中抽取，这些课程将病毒学培训作为重点之一。该培训计划的特点将包括共同的教学培训以及学生和教师之间的演示和其他互动的机会。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。这一共同的重点将为这一培训补助金的学生创造一个保护伞，这与在部门或计划结构中的保护伞不同。病毒发病机制培训补助金是西雅图唯一的培训补助金，主要集中在病毒研究一般或病毒发病机制特别。

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.
