Graduate Training in Genetics

描述：(申请者提供)：建议进行遗传学研究培训 在俄勒冈大学的生物系和化学系。 在一个项目中，申请10个博士前职位的资金 包括大约60名研究生和55名博士后实习生。 有21名培训教职员工参加。该计划特别强调 三个研究领域：1)微生物的遗传调控；2)基因调控 在多细胞真核生物中的作用，以及3)种群和数量 遗传学。培训的基本方面是进行实验室研究 在遗传学项目的一名教员的指导下。通过这件事 经验，学员变得熟练地提出关于基本问题的问题 基因过程和设计实验来回答这些问题。这 培训通过在两个部门提供的正式课程和 突出当前遗传学和相关研究的研讨会计划 纪律。培训设施包括培训实验室 教职员工和一些支持服务，如媒体准备， 寡核苷酸合成、肽合成、蛋白质测序和 单抗设备。主要设备共享，并安装在 公共空间。大多数培训教员的实验室都是连续的。 在相互关联的建筑中。这种安排最大限度地增加了互动和 教师和实习生之间的合作。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant): Research training in genetics is proposed at the Departments of Biology and Chemistry within the University of Oregon. Funds are requested for 10 predoctoral positions, within a program that includes approximately 60 graduate students and 55 postdoctoral trainees. Twenty-one training faculty participate. The program places special emphasis on three research areas: 1) genetic regulation in microbes, 2) regulation of gene action in multicellular eukaryotes, and 3) population and quantitative genetics. The basic aspect of the training is laboratory research carried out under the direction of a faculty member in the genetics program. Through this experience, the trainee becomes skilled at posing questions about fundamental genetic processes and designing experiments to answer those questions. This training is augmented by formal courses offered in the two departments and by seminar programs that highlight current research in genetics and related disciplines. The training facilities include the laboratories of the training faculty and a number of support services such as media preparation, oligonucleotide synthesis, peptide synthesis, protein sequencing, and monoclonal antibody facilities. Major equipment is shared and is housed in common space. The laboratories of most of the training faculty are contiguous in interconnected buildings. This arrangement maximizes interactions and collaborations among faculty and trainees.
