Research Training on Intracellular Pathogens

描述(由申请人提供)：该研究培训计划将在国际合作的背景下进行，旨在为印度的研究生、博士后和教职研究人员提供培训，主要是在新德里的贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁大学(JNU)。该计划旨在提供培训，促进JNU和SBRI/UW研究人员之间的合作，并为JNU及其互动的印度研究机构，特别是位于新德里的国际遗传工程和生物技术中心(ICGEB)提供研究加强。该培训计划将与具有全球重要性和对印度至关重要的传染病研究项目一起进行。培训将强调细胞内病原体的研究培训，重点是利什曼原虫、疟原虫和分枝杆菌。之所以选择这些重点，是因为印度的利什曼病(特别是内脏疾病)、疟疾和结核病的问题由于各种原因正在恶化，而且利什曼病和结核病是机会主义者，将免疫功能低下的患者置于危险之中。培训将突出实验室实验和生物信息学的结合，并将建立在已有的JNU SBRI/UW研究合作的基础上，并刺激新研究合作的发展。培训将包括每隔一年举办一次国内讲习班，这些讲习班在过去非常成功。这些培训将包括实验室和教学培训，并为选择学员参加西雅图的研究培训体验提供部分基础。西雅图的培训将为在JNU或UW注册研究生学位课程的学生提供研究生学位课程研究要求的一部分。西雅图还将为参加国际合作的印度博士后提供培训，并为合作的JNU教员进行短暂的工作访问。培训还将为来自各种国际培训计划(特别是FIC支持的)的学员之间的互动提供机会，并包括这些计划共同的重要领域的培训，如法规和道德方面。印度伙伴机构将是联合师范大学，以促进更多的研究合作，并利用其与其他主要印度研究机构，如国际地质研究理事会的工作联系。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research-training program will be conducted in the context of international collaborations and is designed to provide training for international trainees who are in graduate degree programs, for postdoctorates and for faculty researchers in India, primarily at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi. The program is designed to provide training, stimulate collaboration between JNU and SBRI/UW researchers, and provide research strengthening for JNU and its interacting Indian research institutions, particularly the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in New Delhi. The training program will be conducted in association with research projects on infectious diseases of global importance and which are of critical importance to India. The training will emphasize research training on intracelluar pathogens with a focus on the Leishmania, Plasmodium, and Mycobacterium. These emphases have been chosen because of the problems of leishmaniasis (especially visceral disease), malaria, and tuberculosis in India are worsening for a variety of reasons and since Leishmania and TB are opportunists, putting immunocompromised patients at risk. Training will highlight the combination of laboratory experimentation and bioinformatics and will build on established JNU SBRI/UW research collaborations and stimulate the development of new ones. The training will include in-country workshops on alternate years that have been so successful in the past. These will include laboratory and didactic training and provide a part of the basis for selecting trainees for a research training experience in Seattle. Seattle-based training will provide for a portion of graduate degree program research requirements for student trainees who are enrolled in graduate degree programs at JNU or at the UW. Training will also be available in Seattle for Indian postdoctorals participating in international collaborations and for short working visits of collaborating JNU faculty. The training will also provide opportunities for interactions among trainees from various international training programs (especially FIC supported) and include training in areas of importance that is common to these programs such as regulatory and ethical aspects. The Indian partner institution will be JNU to stimulate additional research collaborations and to take advantage of its working linkages with other key Indian research institutions such as ICGEB.
