Training Grant in Cancer Biology

该应用程序继续支持2011年启动的癌症生物学培训计划， 博士后和博士前培训生在癌症研究的职业。该计划是基于在大学的 马里兰州玛琳和斯图尔特格林鲍姆癌症中心（UMCCC），并包括UMCCC教师从 多个基础科学和临床部门-大部分基于马里兰州巴尔的摩大学 (UMB)校园，与其他人从马里兰州大学公园（UMCP）和大学的 马里兰州巴尔的摩县（UMBC）。对癌症生物学更全面的机械理解将导致 癌症的诊断、治疗和预防越来越有效。培训的一个主要目标 该计划旨在最大限度地利用我们的机会，将新兴的基础科学见解应用于临床结果 通过培训非常有才华和训练有素的医生和博士科学家，他们将在 实验室工作台和癌症患者的床边。培训计划提供了一个严格的 基础癌症研究的教育课程和受训者沉浸在 个性化的、综合的、多学科的指导。参与的学院是根据他们的 发表的科学成就和癌症研究的资助记录，对翻译的兴趣 癌症研究和指导学员的经验。学员将获得对生产力的赞赏 实验室和诊所之间的翻译，通过参与研究和教学会议与互动团队， 实验室和临床研究人员。一系列尖端技术和共享资源， 专门的研究活动支持所有调查人员。该培训计划建立在癌症生物学 在生命科学研究生课程的分子医学课程中进行跟踪，该课程提供 学生在基础，转化和临床癌症的多学科方面有坚实的基础 研究，但允许他们灵活地在选定的UMCCC实验室专注于他们感兴趣的领域 教师。总的来说，有教师的专业知识提供给学员在几乎所有方面的当代 生物医学科学在此更新申请中，我们建议继续改进此培训计划 在转化癌症生物学和癌症基因组学方面进行了扩展的研究培训。

This application continues support for the Training Program in Cancer Biology launched in 2011 to train postdoctoral and predoctoral trainees for careers in cancer research. The program is based in the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center (UMGCC), and includes UMGCC faculty from multiple basic science and clinical departments - the majority based on the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) campus, with others from the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). A fuller mechanistic understanding of cancer biology will lead to progressively more effective cancer diagnosis, therapy, and prevention. A major goal of the Training Program is to maximize our opportunity to apply emerging fundamental scientific insights to clinical outcomes by training exceptionally talented and highly trained physician- and PhD-scientists who will translate between the laboratory bench and the bedsides of patients with cancer. The Training Program provides a rigorous educational curriculum in basic cancer research and the immersion of trainees in the nurturing structure of individualized, integrated, multidisciplinary mentoring. Participating Faculty are selected based on their published scientific achievements and track record of funding in cancer research, interest in translational cancer research and experience in mentoring trainees. Trainees will gain an appreciation for productive translation between lab and clinic by participating in research and didactic sessions with interactive teams of lab and clinical researchers. A range of cutting-edge technologies and shared resources that facilitate specialized research activities supports all investigators. The Training Program builds on the Cancer Biology Track within the Molecular Medicine Program of the Graduate Program in Life Sciences, which provides students with a solid grounding in the multidisciplinary aspects of basic, translational and clinical cancer research, yet allows them the flexibility to specialize in their area of interest in the labs of selected UMGCC faculty. Collectively, there is faculty expertise available to trainees in virtually all aspects of contemporary biomedical science. In this renewal application, we propose the continued evolution of this Training Program with expanded research training in translational cancer biology and cancer genomics.
