DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal application for a training program designed to produce postdoctoral and predoctoral trainees in Cancer Genetics. A faculty of 15 mentors are providing intensive training in c a n cer genetics, with concentrations in viral carcinogenesis, signal transduction, basic mechanisms of gene expression, cell cycle control, and DNA rearrangement. Particular focus is placed on models relevant to breast cancer and leukemia/lymphoma. Since its inception five years ago, our program has grown to include 10 current students and has already produced one Ph.D. To expand the training opportunities available to researchers interested in careers dedicated to the cancer problem, we have developed a postdoctoral component. These two components are well integrated; trainees in both the predoctoral and postdoctoral programs work on research topics directly related to cancer, receive didactic instruction relevant to the cancer problem and are exposed to issues related to cancer as a disease through interactions with New England Medical Center. The postdoctoral program is built on strong research training, but also contains a didactic component focused on cancer genetics, presentation experiences designed to sharpen communication skills, and direct interaction with clinicians treating cancer patients. Career counseling is built into the program. An Executive Committee of the Cancer Genetics Training Program selects postdoctoral trainees based on graduate research productivity, grades and letters of reference. We expect that trainees who have completed our program will be highly competitive for faculty level positions at academic centers or within the biotechnology industry where they will continue to address the cancer problem. Predoctoral students enrolled in the Genetics Graduate Program may apply to enter the Cancer Genetics Program. To encourage application, all Genetics students are required to take Cancer Genetics. Selection into the Cancer Genetics Program is based on successful completion of the first year of the Genetics Graduate Program, a strong interest in cancer, and selection of a Cancer Genetics training laboratory for dissertation research. Predoctoral training includes didactic courses, laboratory rotations, seminars and workshops, but the core of the training is the dissertation research. Upon graduation, we expect our Ph.D. students to be prepared for postdoctoral research in areas relevant to cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份续期申请 旨在培养博士后和博士前培训生的培训计划 癌症遗传学。由 15 名导师组成的教员正在提供强化培训 癌症遗传学，集中于病毒致癌、信号 转导、基因表达的基本机制、细胞周期控制和 DNA 重新排列。特别关注与乳腺癌相关的模型 和白血病/淋巴瘤。自五年前启动以来，我们的计划已 目前学生人数已增至 10 名，并已培养出一名博士生。到 为感兴趣的研究人员提供更多培训机会 致力于癌症问题的职业生涯，我们培养了一名博士后 成分。这两个组件很好地集成在一起；双方的实习生 博士前和博士后项目的研究主题直接相关 接受与癌症问题相关的教学指导并 通过与新事物的互动，暴露出与癌症作为一种疾病相关的问题 英格兰医学中心。 博士后计划建立在强大的研究培训之上，但也 包含专注于癌症遗传学、演示的教学部分 旨在提高沟通技巧和直接互动的体验 与治疗癌症患者的临床医生一起。职业咨询已融入 程序。癌症遗传学培训计划执行委员会 根据研究生研究生产力、成绩选择博士后培训生 和推荐信。我们期望完成我们课程的学员 该计划对于学术界的教师级别职位将具有高度竞争力 中心或生物技术行业内，他们将继续 解决癌症问题。 就读遗传学研究生项目的博士前学生可以申请 进入癌症遗传学计划。为了鼓励应用，所有遗传学 学生必须学习癌症遗传学。选择进入癌症 遗传学课程的基础是成功完成第一年的课程 遗传学研究生计划，对癌症的浓厚兴趣，以及选择 用于论文研究的癌症遗传学培训实验室。博士前 培训包括教学课程、实验室轮换、研讨会和 研讨会，但培训的核心是论文研究。之上 毕业了，我们期待我们的博士学位。学生为博士后做准备 癌症相关领域的研究。
