Glycoscience Training Program

摘要/摘要 针对博士前学生的血糖科学培训计划(GTP)的目标是培训学生 重点研究多糖和糖共轭化合物的化学和生物方面，以及它们的 表达，因为它们主要与生物医学有关。这项计划的理由是由国家 科学院2012年的研究题为转变糖科学：未来路线图，该研究展示了 糖科学在生物医学以及生物能源等其他应用方面具有巨大的潜力。 糖科学涉及研究多糖的功能和结构，即调节其功能和结构的酶 表达，以及涉及的基因和调控序列。GTP有22名教员培训师/导师 来自化学、生物化学和分子生物学、传染病、微生物学和 生物信息学研究所。它接受生命科学和化学这两个跨学科的学生 部门门户网站。聘期为两年，之后学员将得到培训师的支持。实习生 符合培训师所在部门/机构的要求。主要活动是 研讨会系列，年度静修，每月早餐演示，特别课程，如ASBMB科学 交流短期课程，以及生物技术职业发展研讨会。所有受训人员都是博士后 学生，我们要求六个全日制的预约，每个为期两年。预期的结果 因为我们的学生将被任命为博士后和/或进入生物技术的劳动力大军 工业。

Abstract/Summary The objectives of the Glycoscience Training Program (GTP) for Predoctoral Students are to train students in research that focuses on both the chemical and biological aspects of glycans and glycoconjugates, and their expression, as they relate primarily to biomedicine. The rationale for this program was highlighted by the National Academies' 2012 study entitled Transforming Glycoscience: A Roadmap of the Future, which demonstrated the great potential that Glycoscience holds for biomedicine, as well as other applications such as bio-energy. Glycoscience involves the study of the function and structure of glycans, the enzymes that regulate their expression, and the genes and regulatory sequences that are involved. The GTP has 22 faculty trainers/mentors from the Chemistry, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Infectious Disease, Microbiology Departments and the Bioinformatics Institute. It accepts students from both the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences and Chemistry department portals. Appointments are for 2 years, after which trainees are supported by their trainers. Trainees conform to the requirements of the department/institute of their trainers' appointment. Key activities are a seminar series, annual retreat, monthly breakfast presentations, special classes such as the ASBMB Scientific Communication short course, and biotechnology career development workshops. All trainees are predoctoral students, and we are requesting six full-time appointments, each for a two year duration. The intended outcomes for our students are to progress to a postdoctoral appointment and/or to enter the workforce in the biotechnology industry.
