DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our proposed training program is specifically focused on the multidisciplinary training of predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in the field of cancer research. To achieve this goal we have developed an interdisciplinary cancer training program which will synthesize already established and successful programs in signal transduction, gene structure and function, receptor biology, DNA repair, structural biology, bioengineering and drug discovery with clinical exposure into one cohesive program. Students and fellows will receive laboratory training and didactic instruction from expert faculty actively involved in both basic science cancer research and leading edge clinical applications. Moreover, it is our goal that our students and fellows will also be trained to function as active members of the scientific community who can clearly communicate ideas, critically evaluate biomedical research and mentor others in scientific scholarship. We have assembled 31 training faculty from 9 different departments and multiple disciplines. This cohesive and collaborative group of basic researchers and clinician scientists who are dedicated to a lifetime of basic discovery and treatment of cancer patients. In the past 10 years our program faculty has trained 112 predoctoral and 180 postdoctoral fellows and has the experience as well as the interdisciplinary focus to guide this group of trainees to function in teams pursuing research in a truly multidisciplinary fashion. We want our students and fellows to be adept at utilizing traditionally hypothesis driven methods as well as discovery oriented experimental designs to explore these problems. The ultimate goal is to develop a cadre of future scientists who can participate at the intersection of molecular biology, genomics/proteomics, bioengineering and clinical care to become leaders in integrative and team approaches to understand the complex issues of cancer as it relates to potential prevention and innovative treatment strategies. In addition, UTMB is a national leader in the training of minority physicians, researchers and students and, therefore, another goal of our program is to utilize established programs to ensure that we are training individuals of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities to better serve our diverse society.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们拟议的培训计划专门针对癌症研究领域的专业学生和博士后研究员的多学科培训。为了实现这一目标，我们制定了一个跨学科的癌症培训计划，该计划将综合已经建立的，成功的计划，并在信号转导，基因结构和功能，受体生物学，DNA修复，结构生物学，生物工程和药物发现中，并将临床暴露于一个凝聚力计划中。学生和研究员将接受积极参与基础科学癌症研究和领先临床应用的专家教师的实验室培训和教学教学。此外，我们的目标是，我们的学生和研究员还将接受培训，以充当科学界的积极成员，他们可以清楚地传达思想，认真评估生物医学研究并在科学奖学金中指导他人。 我们已经组建了来自9个不同部门和多个学科的31位培训教师。这个基础研究人员和临床医生的凝聚力和协作小组致力于一生对癌症患者的基本发现和治疗。在过去的十年中，我们的课程教师培训了112次培训和180个博士后研究员，并且具有经验以及跨学科的重点，以指导这组学员以真正的多学科方式在探索研究的团队中发挥作用。我们希望我们的学生和研究员擅长利用传统假设驱动的方法以及以发现为导向的实验设计来探索这些问题。最终目标是建立一个未来的科学家的干部，他们可以参与分子生物学，基因组学/蛋白质组学，生物工程和临床护理的交集，以成为综合和团队方法的领导者，以了解与潜在的预防和创新治疗策略有关的癌症复杂问题。此外，UTMB是培训少数族裔医生，研究人员和学生的国家领导者，因此，我们计划的另一个目标是利用既定计划，以确保我们培训各种背景和种族的个人，以更好地为我们的多元化社会服务。
