描述(由申请者提供)：此培训计划在CELL中的目标 发育生物学和遗传学培养的博士毕业生必须具备 做出了重大和原创的贡献，并在 生物医学科学。此续订申请将继续该计划 支持20名受训人员(3年期间每年5至7名受训人员)。在过去的十年里 本项目历年毕业博士47人。S，其中45人目前 为广泛的科学事业做出贡献的专业人士。现在 该计划已从最初的拨款发展到培训博士前学生 发展生物学和遗传学，到一个更大、更广泛的计划， 包括细胞生物学和生物化学。教师培训师已被挑选出来 来自8个基础科学部门基于他们成功的研究项目， 教学兴趣和指导能力。在完成第一年后 课程和研究轮换，学生由指导委员会挑选 并在与节目总监面谈后被任命。学生们 鼓励参加四门核心课程，这些课程由许多 该项目的教职员工。此外，三门课程和严格的资格赛 考试必须通过。一旦选定了论文实验室，教师导师就会 学员必须参加负责任的研究行为课程。 学员在他们的研究论文项目中得到指导。其理念是 确定针对重大生物学问题的研究项目， 需要一系列的实验策略来进行调查，而且 可能在5年内完成。这种多学科的方法是可能的。 因为爱因斯坦拥有最先进的核心设施和设备，以及 导致研究小组、联合期刊俱乐部、 跨部门授课、协作授课的课程 出版物。博士研究生培养技术专长，科学 知识，以及对科学事业至关重要的关键能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this training program in Cell and Developmental Biology and Genetics is to produce Ph.D. graduates who have made significant and original contributions to and have broad expertise in the biomedical sciences. This renewal application is to continue the program with support for 20 trainees (5-7 trainees per year over 3 years). In the last ten years this program has graduated 47 Ph.D.'s, 45 of whom are currently professionals contributing to a wide range of scientific endeavors. The present program has grown from an initial grant to train predoctoral students in developmental biology and genetics, to a larger, more broad-based program that includes cell biology and biochemistry. Faculty trainers have been selected from 8 basic science departments based on their successful research programs, teaching interests and mentoring abilities. After completion of a first year of courses and research rotations, students are selected by the steering committee and appointed following an interview with the program director. Students are encouraged to take four core courses, which are led and team-taught by many of the program faculty. Additionally, three courses and a rigorous qualifying examination must be passed. Once a thesis laboratory is chosen, faculty mentors and student trainees must attend a course in responsible conduct of research. Trainees are guided in their research thesis project. The philosophy is to identify research projects that target significant biological questions, that require a range of experimental strategies for their investigation, and that may be completed in 5 years. This multidisciplinary approach is possible because of the state-of-the-art core facilities and equipment at Einstein, and results in extensive interactions between research groups, joint journal clubs, courses that are taught across departmental lines, and collaborative publications. Ph.D. graduates develop the technical expertise, scientific knowledge, and critical abilities essential for a career in science.
