Cancer Biology Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：密歇根大学的癌症生物学培训计划(该计划)目前处于第20个年头，是一个跨学科的计划，其中心目标是培养优秀的初级研究人员，以解决与人类癌症相关的基本生物学问题。该计划的优势来自于：来自密歇根大学14个基础科学和临床系的40名教职员工的参与；它与密歇根大学综合癌症中心的联系；以及它参与生物医学科学计划，通过该计划招募研究生进入该计划。该计划培养具有研究机会的博士后和博士后学者，专注于癌症生物学领域的广泛主题选择。此外，它还为这些受训人员提供教学课程和其他方案活动，使他们接触到癌症研究的深度和广度。博士后研究员将完成一个物理或生物科学的博士学位，或已完成医学博士学位。博士前学生将包括最近批准的癌症生物学博士项目的学生子集。所有受训人员都对从事癌症相关研究的某些方面有着浓厚的兴趣。博士后实习生将有望毕业到杰出的博士后职位，而博士后实习生应承担领先的学术和研究职位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cancer Biology Training Program (the Program) at The University of Michigan, currently in its twentieth year, is an interdisciplinary program whose central goal is to train exceptional junior investigators to address fundamental biological problems related to human cancer. The Program draws its strength from: the participation of 40 faculty members from 14 basic science and clinical departments within The University of Michigan; its association with The University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center; and its involvement with the Program in Biomedical Sciences, through which graduate students are recruited to the Program. The Program trains both predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars with research opportunities focusing on a wide choice of topics in the field of cancer biology. In addition, it provides these trainees with didactic coursework and other programmatic activities that expose them to the depth and breadth of cancer research. Postdoctoral fellows will have completed a Ph.D. degree in one of the physical or biological sciences, or have completed an M.D. degree. Predoctoral students will comprise a subset of students accepted into the recently-approved Doctoral Program in Cancer Biology. All trainees have a significant interest in pursuing a career in some aspect of cancer-related research. Predoctoral trainees will be expected to graduate to outstanding postdoctoral positions, while postdoctoral trainees should assume leading academic and research positions.
