Biostatistics for Research in Genomics and Cancer

项目摘要 这个为期5年的项目旨在继续培养统计学方面的博士前(博士)学生。 基因组学，主要侧重于癌症基因组学。其目标是培训生物统计学家 癌症的生物学、病因学和遗传学，以及培训他们进行最先进的 与癌症基因组学相关的生物统计方法论研究 基因组学领域。其目标也是培养出能够与其他人合作的生物统计学家 与基因组学和癌症相关的研究问题的科学研究人员和肿瘤学家。这个 典型的博士前实习生将是大学毕业生或硕士毕业生，拥有优秀的 与本培训领域相适应的学历。请求提供资金，以支持5个 博士前实习生。北卡罗来纳大学的生物统计系是世界上最大的系之一， 并拥有高素质的人员和可用的设施，为客户提供最 在这个研究领域进行全面的博士后和博士后培训。几位成员 遗传学、生物信息学和计算生物学系(BCB) 计划将深入参与本培训计划的所有阶段，并将发挥不可或缺的作用 在此培训计划中扮演重要角色。

Project Summary This 5 year program is designed to continue to train predoctoral (PhD) students in statistical genomics with the major emphasis in cancer genomics. The goal is to train biostatisticians in the biology, etiology, and genetics of cancer, as well as to train them to conduct state-of-the-art biostatistical methodologic research relevant to the genomics of cancer as well as in related areas of genomics. The goal is to also produce biostatisticians who can collaborate with other scientific researchers and oncologists on research issues related to genomics and cancer. The typical predoctoral trainee will be a college graduate or master's level graduate with an excellent academic record appropriate for this training area. Funding is requested for the support of 5 predoctoral trainees. The Department of Biostatistics at UNC is one of the largest in the world, and has highly qualified personnel and the available facilities to provide the most comprehensive predoctoral and postdoctoral training in this research area. Several members from the Department of Genetics and the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) program will be deeply involved in all phases of this training program and will play an integral role in this training program.
