Funds are requested for partial support of a project to build out uninhabitable shell space within the University of Southern California Institute for Genetic Medicine (IGM) in order to consolidate and expand the activities of a group of current faculty involved in a new interdisciplinary research program in human genetic medicine research encompassing gene therapy, genetic epidemiology and computational biology. The purpose of the proposed facility is to conduct interdisciplinary biomedical research that is of urgent national importance and that would 4employ emerging and novel technologies to directly benefit the fields of cancer and AIDS research, pediatric heritable disease and the human genome project. The expanded PHS-supported biomedical research programs that will occupy the renovated space will broaden the scope of research ad and of research training at USC by (a) promoting interdisciplinary research including research on the emerging technologies of genetic epidemiology and computational biology including research related to pediatric investigation and (b) promoting gene therapy research. Because we have a critical mass of investigators, a history of excellence, an established and deep commitment to molecular and genetic approaches to health problems, a belief in interdisciplinary research, and a rich array of resources, we believe the time if right to expand the Institute for Genetic Medicine activities in Souther California. Such an expansion of the Institute would maximize efficiency, would spark new research and would create opportunities for new research involvement from other members of our research communities.

要求资金部分支持一个项目，以在南加州大学遗传医学研究所（IGM）内建立无法居住的外壳空间，以巩固和扩大参与人类遗传医学研究的新跨学科研究计划的当前教职员工的活动，包括人类遗传医学研究，包括基因治疗，遗传性生物学和计算生物学。拟议的设施的目的是进行跨学科的生物医学研究，这是紧迫的国家重要性，这将使新兴和新颖的技术直接受益于癌症和艾滋病研究领域，小儿遗传疾病和人类基因组项目。 （a）促进跨学科研究的研究范围，包括遗传流行病学和计算生物学的新兴技术，包括与儿童研究和（b）促进基因研究有关的研究，扩大了占据翻新空间的PHS生物医学研究计划的扩展，将扩大研究AD的范围和研究培训的范围和研究培训。因为我们有大量的研究人员，卓越的历史，对健康问题的分子和遗传方法的既定而深刻的承诺，对跨学科研究的信念以及丰富的资源，所以我们相信是否有时间扩大南加州南部的基因医学研究所。该研究所的这种扩展将最大化效率，将引发新的研究，并将为我们研究社区其他成员的新研究创造机会。
