DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Developmental Genetics Training Program at Tufts New England Medical Center (T-NEMC) and Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM) will provide physicians and predoctoral students with strong training in developmental genetics and the genetics of inherited diseases that can impact fetal, neonatal, and maternal health. The proposed faculty of 25 is drawn from T-NEMC and TUSM, and includes basic and translational researchers who hold M.D., Ph.D., and M.D./Ph.D. degrees. Three postdoctoral trainees will be recruited from the ACGME-accredited fellowship programs in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, and Medical Genetics based at T-NEMC, and three predoctoral trainees will be recruited from the Ph.D. programs in Genetics and Cellular and Molecular Physiology at the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at TUSM each year. Trainees will share a common training experience with rigorous exposure to bench and translational research. The program will promote interaction among pediatricians, medical geneticists, and obstetricians who treat patients and basic scientists who focus on genetic mechanisms of disease, thereby helping each group understand the impact of the other's work. Research training will be complemented by common courses on fundamentals of genetics, developmental genetics, ethics, and a course on the pathobiology of genetic and developmental diseases that is co-taught by basic scientists and physicians. Seminars, presentation workshops, hospital-based genetics rounds, and career counseling round out the program. By integrating basic and clinical faculty, the proposed trainees will acquire a deeper and richer knowledge of basic genetic mechanisms and contemporary clinical problems. The goal is to produce basic science faculty who can be productive in multidisciplinary, translational environments and clinician scientists who will be become independent, funded investigators addressing problems relevant to the health of mothers and children at risk for developmental disability or inherited disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：塔夫茨新英格兰医学中心 (T-NEMC) 和塔夫茨大学医学院 (TUSM) 的发育遗传学培训计划将为医生和博士前学生提供发育遗传学和遗传性疾病遗传学方面的强有力的培训这可能会影响胎儿、新生儿和孕产妇的健康。 拟定的 25 名教职人员来自 T-NEMC 和 TUSM，其中包括拥有医学博士、博士学位和医学博士/博士学位的基础和转化研究人员。度。 将从 T-NEMC 的 ACGME 认可的母胎医学、新生儿围产期医学和医学遗传学研究金项目中招募 3 名博士后培训生，从博士生研究中心招募 3 名博士前培训生。 TUSM 萨克勒生物医学研究生院每年开设遗传学和细胞与分子生理学课程。 学员将分享共同的培训经验，并严格接触实验室和转化研究。 该计划将促进治疗患者的儿科医生、医学遗传学家和产科医生以及专注于疾病遗传机制的基础科学家之间的互动，从而帮助每个小组了解彼此工作的影响。 研究培训将辅以遗传学基础、发育遗传学、伦理学基础的公共课程，以及由基础科学家和医生共同讲授的遗传和发育疾病病理学课程。 该计划还包括研讨会、演示研讨会、医院遗传学查房和职业咨询。 通过整合基础和临床教师，拟议的学员将获得有关基本遗传机制和当代临床问题的更深入、更丰富的知识。 目标是培养能够在多学科、转化环境中高效工作的基础科学教师和临床科学家，他们将成为独立的、受资助的研究人员，解决与面临发育障碍或遗传性疾病风险的母亲和儿童健康相关的问题。
