 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new submission for a broad based predoctoral training program in developmental biology. The program takes advantage of the programmatic infrastructure established through a highly successful 15 year long training grant in developmental biology that expired in 2014. The proposed training program requests 12 trainee slots per year. Each year 6 trainees will be appointed for a duration of 2 years so that at any given time the training program will include 6 trainees in their first and 6 trainees in their second year of support (12 trainee slots/year). The proposed training program includes faculty from multiple schools and departments within the University and reflects a major and continuing expansion of developmental biology research and training. The new plan emphasizes laboratory research directed towards basic mechanisms of embryonic development using a diversity of vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant organisms. It fosters the application of modern genetic, genomic, cellular, molecular and high resolution imaging approaches to developmental studies. Research training areas include transcription and cell signaling mechanisms that control cell lineage determination, differentiation, migration, organogenesis, cellular senescence, morphogenesis, pattern formation, epigenetic regulation of developmental processes, and stem cell biology. Trainees are encouraged to explore clinical research areas including cancer and genetic diseases of development. In preparation for their research training, predoctoral students receive formal instruction in an established curriculum of study, including lecture courses in developmental biology and advanced seminars on genetic, cellular, and molecular approaches to developmental mechanisms and disease. Students will also participate in developmental biology journal clubs, a developmental biology seminar series that includes student invited speakers, research discussion groups on selected topics, and in annual scientific symposia. Trainees present their research findings at departmental seminars, local symposia and national conferences. Finally, the training program will provide trainees with dedicated a) semiannual Show and Tell research days where trainees will lecture other trainees about their project followed by a hands-on demonstration of research techniques employed by the trainee presenter, e.g. live cell imaging, b) a yearly retreat to present their work in a more formal settig that includes an eminent external speaker who will help evaluate this training program, c) crafting of an Individual Development Plan and its yearly review by the Directors, d) Professional development seminars, such as mini-writing classes tailored to graduate students, e) quarterly lunchtime discussion with a Penn faculty of the trainee's choice to ask questions about the faculty's field of research and/or to discuss general issues such as lab management or career path decisions, f) brief `job shadowing' internships in pharmaceutical, translational, or other settings to explore different aspects of working in the pharmaceutical/biotech sector.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：这是开发生物学领域广泛的基于广泛的培训培训计划的新提交。该计划利用了通过一项非常成功的15年发育生物学培训补助金建立的程序基础设施，该资助于2014年到期。拟议的培训计划要求每年12个学员老虎机。每年6名学员将被任命2年，以便在 任何给定时间的培训计划将在第二年的第一年（12名受训者老虎机/年）中包括6名受训者和6名学员。拟议的培训计划包括来自大学内部多个学校和部门的教职员工，并反映了发展生物学研究和培训的主要且持续的扩展。新计划强调了针对胚胎开发的基本机制的实验室研究，使用多种脊椎动物，无脊椎动物和植物生物。它促进了现代遗传，基因组，细胞，分子和高分辨率成像方法的应用。研究训练领域包括控制细胞谱系测定，分化，迁移，器官发生，细胞感应，形态发生，模式形成，发育过程的表观遗传调节和干细胞生物学的转录和细胞信号传导机制。鼓励学员探索包括癌症和发育遗传疾病在内的临床研究领域。在准备研究培训的过程中，前学生在既定的研究课程中获得正式的教学，包括发育生物学的讲座课程以及有关遗传，细胞和分子方法的高级半学院的发育机制和疾病方法。学生还将参加开发生物学杂志俱乐部，这是一个发展生物学系列系列，其中包括受学生邀请的演讲者，有关选定主题的研究讨论小组以及年度科学研讨会。受训者在部门的半手，当地研讨会和民族会议上提出了研究结果。最后，该培训计划将为受训者提供专门的a）半年度表演，并告诉研究日，学员将在其中向其他学员就他们的项目讲授他们的项目，然后动手展示研究技术雇主的雇主，例如，例如。活细胞成像，b）年度撤退，在更正式的近角色中介绍他们的作品，其中包括一位杰出的外部演讲者，他们将帮助评估该培训计划，c）制定个人发展计划及其年度审查，董事的年度审查，d）专业发展中心，d）专业发展中心，例如针对研究生量身定制的小型小型培训课程，e季度的午餐时间，e），e季度的午餐时间和宾夕法尼亚州的班级访问者，或讨论一般问题，例如实验室管理或职业道路决策，f）在药物，翻译或 探索在药品/生物技术领域工作的不同方面的其他设置。
