Comparative Biomedical Scientist Training Program

该项目是国立卫生研究院研究生合作计划的组成部分，旨在协调博士研究培训和大学与国立卫生研究院的接口。该项目为学员提供适合合作大学研究生学分的分子和比较病理学教学内容。癌症生物学和遗传学实验室，分子病理学单位(MPU)的工作人员负责培训和指导受训人员。受训者在MPU内进行论文前研究，他们获得大学研究生课程学分，适用于获得比较生物医学科学家的博士学位。接受研究性培训的兽医病理学家将病理学纳入内部研究的范围。该项目的毕业生完成了博士学位课程，内容包括p53在放射治疗后脑神经细胞衰老中的作用，多发性骨髓瘤的治疗，以及多巴胺受体在肺癌中的作用。该计划建立在对生物医学科学问题的跨学科和比较取向的基础上。2020财年的计划和实习生成就包括：目前有10名比较生物医学科学家在培训中，得到了多个NIH合作研究所的支持。自上一份年度报告以来，没有研究员完成博士学位。由于疫情的原因，暑期实习计划今年没有举行。

The project is a constituent of the NIH Graduate Partnership Program and serves to coordinate the doctoral research training and the university-NIH interface. The project provides trainees with molecular and comparative pathology educational content suitable for graduate credit at partnership universities. The Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics, Molecular Pathology Unit (MPU) staff has responsibility for training and mentoring trainees. Trainees undertake pre-dissertation research within the MPU for which they receive university graduate course credit applicable for earning the Ph.D. degree as comparative biomedical scientists. The veterinary pathologists undertaking research training integrate pathology into the range of intramural research. Program graduates finished PhD degree programs in the role of p53 in senescence of neural cells in brain following radiation treatment, therapy for multiple myeloma and the role of dopamine receptors in lung cancer. The program builds upon an interdisciplinary and comparative orientation to problems in biomedical science. Program and trainee accomplishments for fiscal year 2020 include: Presently there are 10 comparative biomedical scientists-in-training, supported by multiple NIH collaborating institutes. No fellows have completed their PhD degrees since the previous annual report. The summer internship program was not held this year due to the pandemic.
