ABSTRACT Continued support is requested for a multidisciplinary Dartmouth Training Program in Quantitative Cancer Research (TQCR). The TQCR Program seeks to provide cross-training in quantitative, computational, and biomedical sciences to prepare students for the emergent cancer research landscape that is increasingly characterized by complex problems, big data, and multidisciplinary teams. At Dartmouth, the TQCR Program will enlist graduate student trainees from different academic backgrounds, including computer science, mathematics, biology, chemistry, and engineering who are committed to cancer-centered research activities with a strong quantitative component. These graduate student candidates for TQCR support will be recruited broadly from cancer-focused research laboratories across four graduate programs at Dartmouth: The Geisel School of Medicine’s Molecular & Cellular Biology and Quantitative Biomedical Sciences PhD Programs, The Thayer School of Engineering’s PhD program, and The School of Arts and Sciences Computer Science PhD Program. Faculty mentors include quantitative scientists with significant extramural funding and a strong track records of graduate training experience and biomedical research. Research areas of the faculty include quantitative methodology and scientific applications in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computer science, computational biology, genomics, and epidemiology. Selected TQCR students will engage in a cancer-specific, quantitative curriculum that includes courses in computer science, bioinformatics, biostatistics, epidemiology, cancer biology and integrative biomedical sciences, exposing them to both interdisciplinary research and quantitative methodology development over the course of a 2-year fellowship period. This reflects our institution’s long history of exceptionally strong cancer research and clinical programs, largely based on the success of our comprehensive, NCI-designated Norris Cotton Cancer Center. It is our vision that the next generation of quantitative researchers requires comprehensive interdisciplinary training to contribute meaningfully to future progress in understanding, preventing, and treating cancer.

抽象的 请求继续支持达特茅斯定量癌症多学科培训计划 研究 (TQCR) TQCR 计划旨在提供定量、计算和研究方面的交叉培训。 生物医学科学，帮助学生为日益增长的新兴癌症研究领域做好准备 达特茅斯的 TQCR 项目的特点是复杂的问题、大数据和多学科团队。 将招募来自不同学术背景的研究生学员，包括计算机科学、 数学、生物学、化学和工程学，致力于以癌症为中心的研究活动 这些 TQCR 支持的研究生候选人将被广泛招募。 来自达特茅斯大学四个研究生项目的以癌症为重点的研究实验室：盖泽尔学院 医学分子与细胞生物学和定量生物医学科学博士课程，The Thayer 工程学院的博士课程和艺术与科学学院计算机科学博士课程。 教师导师包括拥有大量校外资金和良好记录的定量科学家 研究生培训经验和生物医学研究教师的研究领域包括定量。 生物信息学、生物统计学、计算机科学、计算生物学的方法论和科学应用， 选定的 TQCR 学生将学习针对癌症的定量课程。 其中包括计算机科学、生物信息学、生物统计学、流行病学、癌症生物学和 综合生物医学科学，让他们接受跨学科研究和定量方法 这反映了我们机构在两年研究金期间的发展。 非常强大的癌症研究和临床项目，很大程度上基于我们全面、 NCI 指定的 Norris Cotton 癌症中心 我们的愿景是培养下一代定量研究人员。 需要全面的跨学科培训，以对未来的理解进步做出有意义的贡献， 预防和治疗癌症。
